We were reading Kirsi Flip and Flop last night before bedtime. In the story, the older penguin won’t play with the younger penguin (I forget who is who now), which leaves the younger crying.
Very concerned, Kirsi asked why the penguin was crying. After I explained, she thought for a second and then said “Kirsi play with him.”
Just today, Kirsi looked at a dog calendar that we have and said that the puppy looked sad and that she would play with him.
Kirsi is also very loving with the neighborhood stray dog, whom we call Sad Puppy. She likes to feed him and gives him hugs.
I love the empathy she shows at such a young age.
