With tears in his eyes and voice all chocked up, "Why do you want me to be in school? Because you love me?" "Yes, because it's good for you and you can learn more things and grow." "But I miss you when I'm in school. How about you come be a teacher in my school?" ..... He cries when he thinks of people he loves and misses, like when we were in Jakarta, he missed his grandparents and said with a broken voice that we should bring them along next time.

With tears in his eyes and voice all chocked up,
“Why do you want me to be in school? Because you love me?”

“Yes, because it’s good for you and you can learn more things and grow.”

“But I miss you when I’m in school. How about you come be a teacher in my school?”

He cries when he thinks of people he loves and misses, like when we were in Jakarta, he missed his grandparents and said with a broken voice that we should bring them along next time.

She did get a big hug, of course after her mouth's been clean of the soy sauce and grease...

I don't know sometimes whether we do them any favours in teaching them to dull these feelings. Sure they won't suffer the lows, but they may also miss out on a lot of the highs. I can though also relate to some of the inner guilty joy of your daughter telling her that she is sad because it means a 'share' moment in on the way. Of course tonights share moment was our daughter confessing to me the reason she was sad this morning is because not all toilet water is blue, and she only likes the blue water - but still, I guess it counts. A big *hug* for sad kids everywhere I say toddlerdaddys last blog post..<a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/Toddlerdaddycom/~3/336933276/" rel="nofollow">Big Bum Band</a> Isn’t it amazing how selfless kids are, and also how they ‘feel’ everything so deeply.

And I did remind her of the other piece still in the fridge. I wonder now when I will see such an act again! Yeah I was proud-ish of her selfless act.

Good that she has learnt to at least share her joys and sorrows and not keep them inside! It was indeed a selfless act and she ought to be proud of herself! maybe reward her with a nicer bit of choc today?
