My Sensitive Little Man

This book made Alex bawl tonight.  We were reading together having a great time when right near the end when the frog, the sheep and the goat fall in the mud and the duck drives off Alex starting bawling his head off.  At the same time he was trying to tell me something in his language which I took to mean "that was not very nice of the duck to leave his three friends in the mud like that right after they helped him out of the mud".  Well, Alex I totally agree with you!!  I think it was the first time I had seen him have real empathy towards something.  We quickly finished the book and gave each other a huge hug which seemed to make him feel a lot better.  He's definitely a sensitive little guy-just like his mama who still cries at Hallmark commercials.
