Protector Bodhi

Sweet Havana feel asleep on the couch the other night about forty-five minutes before her bedtime. This was a first in our family. Neither of the girls has ever fallen asleep like that. In the car maybe but to declare "I'm tired" and then within 60 seconds to be out like a light, so soon before bedtime, that was new. Baby Girl was clearly, very tired. 

Within minutes of her drifting off into dreamland, our mellow Siamese, Bodhi (we have a not so mellow one too!) jumped up next to Baby Girl and laid on her feet. He didn't move for the half hour or so we let Havana remain on the couch. Intuitively, I knew immediately he was standing guard over Havana. Bodhi doesn't usually sleep with the girls, so this was a first too. But Bodhi has always had a monk in a cat body like vibe, peaceful yet always knowing what time of day it really is. It touched my heart that he felt he to look out for his human sister.

Sweet Bodhi and Sweet Havana, a good match!
