Miss Empathy

The Wee One has always been a caring and sweet child. However, lately we have noticed she has an uncanny ability to show empathy...for events on TV or in movies.
She is very intune with the emotions related to music. When the music gets sad, she gets a sad look on her face. When the music gets scary, she looks scared.
The other day we were watching Nemo and when Nemo finds his dad at the end, she started to tear up and cry and said, "Awwww."
The one that actually inspired this post is when the commercial below came on TV. As the music started to play, she crawled up on the couch and cuddled up with me. Then as the pictures of the sad animals came across the TV, she started to cry and tell me, "Momma, they so sad. Sad animals."
Don't tell me persuasive techniques don't work.

Doesn't it make you feel good that she has such a big heart? My Princess has a huge heart and lately she has taken to praying for all of the stray cats and dogs to find good homes, for orphans to find new Mommies and Daddies so they can have a happy family, and for widows to find new husbands. It's so sweet, yet I feel for her because I can tell that her heart truly does ache for these issues.

She and Laticia must be kindred spirits!
