Goobie cannot stand it when I’m hurt. The Bella and I play fight and it freaks her out. Their dad and I would wrestle and she’d flip her lid. I burn myself in the kitchen and she soaks her high chair with tears. It’s so fucking sweet that I can’t stand it. And I forget how sensitive she is sometimes.
My sneakers gave me blisters on the backs of my ankles during BlogHer. Them shits were hot though, you can’t deny it:
I have bandaids over the wounds. The Bella saw them and asked me what happened. As I gave the explanation of how I got hurt Goobie burst into tears. She cried inconsolably for almost 10 minutes. After she calmed down I explained to her that they don’t hurt anymore. She bought it and was ok until when I was unpacking my suitcase later on, The Bella asked me if those were the shoes that hurt me and I said yes.
Goobie cried for another 1/2 hour. Now she cries anytime she sees them, so they’re hidden in the back of my closet. Doesn’t look like I’ll be wearing them again.

The latest from Sybil Law…Can’t Come Up with a Good Title
That is so incredibly, unbelievably sweet. I’ve met some compassionate kids but not like that. I hope she’s able to get a teeny bit of a thicker skin or it’ll be hard for her, but I hope she keeps a lot of that empathy. We need kids who care that much.

The latest from the planet of janet…What to do during an earthquake
Sweet girl. I’m sure she’ll develop a bit of thicker skin as time goes by (she’s her mama’s daughter after all), but clearly she was born with a wonderful sense of empathy for others. Because again, she is her mama’s daughter.
BTW
I get hurt, 2 yr old Liam giggles and says “That’s funny mom”.

She’s so sweet! My daughter doesn’t care if my beautiful shoes hurt my feet…she only wants to know if she can wear them. (She’s 12, the answer is NO)

Wait. What size are they? Send them to me!
Wow, Maria! Sounds like you have a budding co-dependent on your hands there :) I didn’t realize it could be temperament related (she’s too young to have had that kind of sensitivity modeled for her, right?) She sounds like such a little sweetie…
