Compassionate Katie

Katie has started to show her compassionate and caring side lately. If she hears anyone crying she will search around the room for them and have a sad look on her face. The other day some grown up friends of ours were having a little play fight and Katie, in what seemed like slow motion, stopped what she was doing, her bottom lip started quivering, and she screamed and wept. Similarly we were having a bit of a tickling match, but it was too much for Katie to handle. She stood completely still and screamed and screamed and screamed, it took a long time to convince her that mummy and daddy were ok and that they loved each other very much.

Another example of her deep compassion was expressed at nursery last week. Katie's best friend Niamh was sent to the naughty mat for biting another child. On seeing her all alone, Katie went and sat next to her. Aah, how cute.
