Empathy

We ended up taking both kids to the doctor today. Bubba had his 2 month check up and Miss D threw up this morning from coughing and i wanted a double check on her tonsils.

Miss D is fine. She wanted to give her brother her finger to squeeze when he got his shots. (Husband does this for her for similar tasks, like getting her hair combed. tangles!)

Bubba actually took the shots very well- but Miss D got very sad and teary. I think she was surprised that watching her brother in pain effected her so much.

My poor sensitive, empathetic little bean. ;)

Awww, how cute! I seem to remember my sisters just laughing at me when I was in pain.

That's so heartbreaking and cute! E has a similar reaction whenever J is upset or cries. Of course, J likes shots, so that scenario doesn't really apply. Lisa

Think she gets it from her mother :)
