This weekend Nathan and I were having a conversation about Ellie and how she seems to be a fairly courteous, caring child. For example…there are mornings, and sometimes even still at noon, that I don’t feel well when we’re eating breakfast or lunch and I’ll sit there for a minute and try and catch my breath…and decide if I need to run for the bathroom…and Ellie will stop eating, look at me and say “my okay?”

Her beautiful little caring way of asking mommy if she’s okay.

Nathan thinks perhaps its something we’ve taught her…to be concerned for other people…I say we just got lucky and I hope it sticks. We’ll take it either way.
