…I told Bonny Annie that I’d post something really, really nice about her on my blog.
I’m not sure why, but the other day, she ended up changing three diapers in one day for me. Bonny Annie probably, on average, changes a diaper every other day, so this was kinda big. By the third diaper, she was all heavy sighs and big eye rolls, and she’s made sure to tell at least five people about her fate.
Bonny Annie is a great big sister. She helps with Cap’n Jack Henry a lot. Just this morning, I woke up with a really bad headache, and she took over for me for about an hour and half or so, so I could take some Extra Strength Tylenol and lie back down for a while.
If I have a big chore project going on, she will play with him or put on episodes of “The Suite Life of Zack and Cody,” which for some unexplainable reason, entertains Jack Henry.
If I need to run in the store for just a few items, I can leave the car running with the AC and go in by myself, while she holds down the fort in the car. She only occasionally needs to karate chop Dirty Harry, and all is well.
As a matter of fact, if you have a child, especially a girl, that is about 11 years old or so, you might as well go ahead and plan on having another baby soon. It will be the easiest child you’ve ever raised because the girl child will half raise it for you.
And Jack Henry loves her. He loves her so much that he gives her open mouth kisses…
This is a big step for the Cap’n because just a few months ago, you may remember, when she asked for kisses, she got something else entirely.
Actually, he may be biting her…
…but we have chosen to believe it is kissing.
Because she really is a good sister (and daughter!), one that deserves to be kissed. Not bitten. Or slapped.
…even without the multiple diaper changes.
(Psst…how did I do, Bonny Annie? And when you’re done reading this, I think I smell something…)
