For a long time, you've been very observant with Mama's feelings. For instance, from as early as last December (while Kung-Kung's passing was still fresh), you caught me crying during Mass and asked me why. You then promptly grabbed a wet wipe to wipe away my tears.
There have been many times too when you'd react to my Ouches by stroking the affected area and then kissing or blowing it.
Your teachers at playschool have also said that you'd alert them if a younger child was crying or being bullied.
Recently, however, you've been taking empathy a level up. You'd offer your toy cars to a lone kid playing at the playground. Or, as Teacher Corley said at the Little Gym, you'd - upon noticing that the teachers aren't getting a response - help rally an unwilling child to participate in the lesson.
This is a tender part of your personality that we love and cherish. It makes us real proud of you. It makes us feel all gooey inside even though it may teeter too closely towards Uncool.
It never ceases to amaze us when you extend your loving trait to your soft toys though. Well, when you're not busy practising kung-fu kicks ON them, anyway. Like two days ago, you asked me where Mika the Meerkat was as you'd not played with him for a while. Upon finding him, you had a heartfelt chat with him explaining why you hadn't been able to play with him much.
It was hilarious. (C'mon, you have to agree, too!)
Now, this is not to say that you're all devoid of cheekiness. This video will show you just how sneaky you can be when you've got something up your sleeve. (In this case, trying to squeeze a free night in Papa's and Mama's bed.)
