Another holiday has come and gone and, for the second year in a row, Libby spent her Easter being sick. It all started with Mary getting a cold. It turned in to a week-long series of coughs, sneezes, runny noses, headaches and long, long nights. The good news is that Libby and Mary did get to see their family on Easter Sunday. Unfortunately, the ladies just weren't at their best.
Both girls were great at Mass and were as good as could be expected at Grammie and Papa Yandek's for dinner. And while their coughing and sneezing put an end to any thoughts of going out for Easter Brunch, it was still a nice day for everyone. Despite the sickness, the girls have been very good, as evidenced by the absolute killing they made on their Easter baskets. They were obviously rewarded for taking such a good picture with the Easter Bunny the week before!
The great thing about the last few weeks is that with Spring Break, Easter and the sickness (hello silver lining!), Mom and Dad have both gotten to spend a lot of extra time with Libby and Mary. This is even more meaningful now as the girls are really developing a relationship with one another. While Libby has always been fond of her little sister, she has taken even more of an interest in her lately. Whenever Libby escapes to her Hippo Tent, she always invites Mary and even brings her toys for her to play with. Libby "reads" to Mary and is always sure to point out airplanes, birds, or any other exciting thing that she sees. For bath time, Libby helps wash Mary's hair and shares all the bath toys so they can play together. It is seeing them together like this that makes up for all the frustration and lost sleep of having two little ones so close together!
Hopefully, the rain will finally go away (everytime Libby goes outside, she points at the sky and yells "Stop raining!") so the girls can have more outside time. More than anything, Libby hates being stuck in the house all the time. Everyone is definitely in need of some serious Spring weather!
