sad little bears

Paela has become more aware of how others are feeling, particularly when they are sad. At nursery yesterday, she turned to me for a bit of comfort when another little boy had started crying hysterically (junior nursery...they miss their parents). "Sad!" she declared over and over.

When she woke up from her nap later, Camilla and Victor and Cameron had just arrived for a visit. I went in to tell her this, and she looked up at me with a worried look and asked "Is he sad?" I had to think back to remember that yes, he had just cried a few moments ago!
