Sophie has been becoming much more aware of things and verbalizing that awareness lately. She has the sweetest little voice, too. I should really record it. One of her newer subjects and words is "ow." She got a nasty blister on her heel a couple weeks ago and it is still healing. For a while, she would sweetly say 'ow' while almost crying and point to it. It is much better now, though not entirely healed.
My hormones are doing their post-baby thing and I am the proud owner of a rather sore (and pretty nasty looking) zit on my chin. While sitting in bed today reading with Sophie, she pointed at it and said "ow!" and then pointed at her heel and said "ow" again. She looked very concerned during this little exchange. My sweet little girl seemed to recognize that I had an "ow" and empathized with my pain.
Isn't it sweet when they start to empathize? James has started showing concern for anyone who is crying. He will look at them, very concerned, and say "Cry? Sad?" it is so sweet! :)
