Tuck-in Express

Yesterday afternoon, after getting home from shopping, poor Oma was so exhausted that upon coming in through the front door, she simply collapsed onto the sofa for a quick power nap.

Todd observed this, and rather than bug her like he normally would, he played quietly, somehow sensing that Oma really needed her rest. But the best was yet to come:

He noticed that she was still wearing her sandals and that one leg dangled off the sofa. So he carefully removed her sandals, and then picked up the errant leg and placed it comfortably on the sofa. But that's not all.

He scampered into the bedroom, and returned carrying a blanket, his security pillow, and a stuffed animal. He then proceeded to carefully cover Oma with the blanket, smoothing it out and making sure it was covering her and tucked in nicely. The pillow went to the side of her head, and the stuffed toy into her arms. Not just any stuffed animal, either-- but Todd's absolute favorite-- Geronimo the sea turtle! He then topped it all off with a kiss!!

Then Todd ran back into the bedroom, leaving Oma wondering what else he was up to. He returned with another blanket in tow. When she asked him what he was doing, he looked at her and sternly admonished something I'd chastised him about many times before (in an effort to get him to go to sleep): "Close your eyes!"

Afterward, he crawled into the other sofa, covered himself, and pretended to go to sleep-- without his pillow, and without his turtle!

What generosity :-)
