Conversation and Empathy

Grace has been adding words like crazy and she can even speak in 3-4 word sentences at times! We even have conversations now :) She has matured so much the past couple months. I can actually reason with her a little bit..... a little bit!!! She has been such a joy to be around! We have had our ups and downs over the past year or so. Good weeks and bad weeks. But I can honestly say the past 2 months have been wonderful!

Grace usually cracks up when someone is crying or screams in pain. She really wasn't getting the empathy thing :) But the past week or so, I've noticed her look serious instead of laugh when I would hurt myself (happens fairly regularly). Well, today we had this conversation:

Grace: "bump" (as she points to the monster size zit on my chin due to stress)
Mommy: "I have a boo boo."
Grace: laughs "boo boo bump"

Grace: kisses my chin and says "all better"
Mommy: "Aw, thank you" as I squeeze her.
Grace: "Your welcome"

Love her to pieces!!!!!!!!
