Tonight at martial arts, Riley very politely asked to be excused. It is unlike her to leave class unless she's on the cusp of a meltdown, but my radar didn't go off. She didn't seem upset. Still, she ran out of the room. Perhaps she needed the bathroom? Before I could get up to check on her she was back and heading straight toward me.
"Mom," she whispered. "Where are the tissues?"
There was a box on a shelf right behind where I was sitting, so I reached back and handed her one. She took it and bowed back into class. All the students were lined up in a row. She went directly over to Seth, and wiped his nose.

Love.
I have to admit, the nose wiping was probably as much OCD as it was sib love, but I'll take what I can get.
I can see why.

Awwwwwwwww!!!! Not just love, older sister love. It is special stuff.(and, ah, OCD just adds a little flavor. Whut??)

That's absolutely right - take what you can get.

So sweet. Love this.
so sweet!
OCD and sib love, yes, hard to tell the difference around here, too.
OCD, sib love, and awareness of another person's needs. Winner, winner, chicken dinner.
WOW. Not only loving and sweet, but that's some major self-awareness and politeness...
Stunning!
I read that first phrase, "tonight at martial arts," thinking it was you applying the judo chops. That funny mental image made me laugh.
I LOVED this!!!!!!
That girl really looks after her lil bro...OCD or not.
