A couple times a month Clair will come out with some deep statements showing she's so worried about dying. I'm really not sure where this comes from; perhaps after dealing with my Grandpa's death.
Yesterday at breakfast she proclaims to her brother and sister, "When Mommy and Daddy die, Max and Ellie, you will take care of me, right?"
Max and Ellie were both shocked by this and taken back.
I quickly stepped in to remind them all they would be very old grown ups before this happened. Clair still wanted assurance from Max and Ellie they would take care of her, tears welling up in her eyes.
I gave her a big hug and told them all to always take care of each other and quickly tried to change the subject. Poor girl, I wish she didn't worry about this so much.
