empathy

It's gratifying and downright beautiful to see empathy developing and emerging in Paloma. The other day Derek was reading to her from her Clifford the Big Red Dog book. There's a part where someone throws a shoe at him. Clifford's feelings are hurt. Paloma's eyes filled up with tears! We were so moved by her sensitivity. It's such a good and healthy thing to see how she shares her feelings fearlessly.
