Recently, Maddie has begun to understand the concept of feelings and emotions and how they relate to situations. When I tell her that I'm taking her to the park or that her cousin is coming for a visit, she says, "I'm HAPPY!" Sometimes she says, "Hooray!" Or, when she hurt her foot the other day, she said, "I'm mad."
She also recognizes happiness or anger in others. She heard a bird that was singing and said, "Happy!" Whereas, there was a bird who flew into our livingroom window and she said, "I want happy." because she thought the (likeyly injured) bird was mad or hurt.
It's so interesting to watch Maddie learn new things each day.
