Last night I made the mistake of Telling Ellie that I would not take her to miss Sarah's in the morning. I had to go to a lab and get early-morning tests. Ellie broke down in tears immediately. We got through it the first time, and I made the mistake when I was tucking her into bed of saying I'll see you tomorrow afternoon. Then it started all over again. Tears!
She wanted 100 hugs to make up for the fact she wouldn't see me in the morning. I complied and promised an extra one in the night While she was sleeping. And I followed up on my promise.
Now, remember, Ellie can't get herself out of bed to go to the bathroom in the night. She swears to me so that she wakes up between five and six every morning. I laugh.
Fast forward to 5:30 AM this morning, and Ellie is standing beside my bed needing a hug before I go. How On earth that girl got herself up, I have no idea. She never comes to find me in the middle of the night.
I gave her a few hugs and walked her back to bed. That girl is something else.
