Shawn--Our Mr. Sensitive

Shawn's favorite book right now is a picture book full of babies. The pages each show a baby's face showing different emotions like pouting, angry, happy, and sad. Every night just before dinner, Shawn looks at his book while I (or usually Isaac) make dinner.

Recently, Shawn has started to gravitate to one particular set of pages--the happy and sad pages. He will ask me over and over again what the picture on each page is, and over and over again I say either "Happy!" or "Sad."

The other night, Shawn added a new twist to our little nightly ritual. He has now started to be more sympathetic toward the baby on the "sad" page. The baby is crying, so together we try to wipe away the baby's tears and tell him it will be okay. Now when I say "Sad," Shawn will cover his mouth with his hand and starts to whine/cry. He'll do that until I divert his attention to the "happy" page. Back and forth we go, and the cry comes and goes nearly every single time.

Finally, we caught a glimpse of what it is like. It cracks me up to no end. My little guy is Mr. Sensitive!
