Confirmation

[pomes]

I'm doing it right, it's easy to tell -
She tucks up her teddies in towels so well,
And she spoonfeeds them breakfast, and puts on their clothes
(It wouldn't do Teddy to have frozen cold toes)

I'm teaching her something, it's easy to see -
When I was upset, she came up to me
And patted my head, and asked "Are you ok?"
In chirrups and babbles as clear as the day.

I'm good at my job, it's easy to hear -
"Thank you" and asking are always quite clear.
She tidies her toys away, one at a time,
And insists on risk-taking with her hand in mine.

This is lovely and, for us, timely. I was told that Squeaky was very concerned about Grandpa when he fell off the swing at the park, and Grandma when she banged her elbow, and the little girl at the park who didn't want to play... Empathy and caring are even more important skills than flashcards and academics at this point, and it sounds like you're nailing it. Big hugs to you and L.

Oliver tucked up his teddy tonight (in my bed). Leaned over and gave him a little hug, then made some little word-sounds (including ni-ni') in a higher-pitched lilting voice.... and he got this really tender stance and expression. I got a bit of a soppy grin at this point ;-)
