I think empathy is one of the most important qualities a person should have so I'm incredibly proud when one of my kids shows empathy towards someone else. This was the case over the weekend when you, JieJie, Second GuhGaw and I were playing in the attic. All three of you wanted to play with me separately and were all vying for my attention and when JieJie couldn't play Barbies alone with me, she got really upset and started to cry. When you noticed, you immediately began climbing off the balance bike you were riding (which wasn't easy--it's still a little tall for you, so you fumbled with it for a few minutes but told JieJie reassuringly, "I coming! I be right dare."). You then ran over to JieJie, patted her on the shoulder and say, "I make you happy." You hugged her a few times and my heart was simultaneously sad that I didn't have more time to spend with JieJie individually and full because of how you were looking after your big sister. I hope you will always be this kind and compassionate!
Love,
Mom
