Last night as I was kissing her before going to sleep, Little Rachel said, "Mom, please don't be jealous that I'm not paying as much attention to you because Auntie Rachel is here. I don't see her that often."
I was too taken aback to even say, "It's okay, sweetie, I understand."
Tonight, when Big Rachel crashed (she's still on Nairobi time, several hours ahead of us) and Drew was upstairs, Little Rachel came outside, where I was still sitting enjoying the warm and mosquito-free night, climbed onto my chair and crawled into my lap and we had a nice cuddle. I told her how much I love cuddling.
"I'm sorry I haven't been paying enough attention to you," she said.
"It's okay, sweetie, I understand," I said.
"No, it's not okay," she replied.
And then she kissed me multiple times, said she had to get on up to bed, and left.
I completely adore this kid.
