Sometimes our kids know themselves so well.

Drew fell off a chair. Scraped, bruised, scared. Howling in my arms. We asked if he needed/wanted ice, hugs, kisses, etc. He replied "I need to cry." So we held him and he did, then drank some ice water and was content.

Smart kid... sometimes crying is all you need.

That is oddly wonderful.

Yep!

Isn't it? I love that he recognized it and said it. (I was already beginning to suspect it, but you run down the litany to be sure nothing more tangible is needed anyway, I find....)

Poor little guy...

I'm glad that he got to feeling better soon!
