This morning Cole was crawling around the living room, pretty tired and closing in on needing a nap. Accalia was on the couch and Cole stood up by her. Accalia must have grabbed him or done something that upset him since he started crying, so Accalia quickly gave him a hug which only made him cry harder. "I hugged him and it didn't work, Mama!" Accalia said when Cole wouldn't stop crying. It's so sweet to see those glimpses of empathy in her.

Oh, very funny at yesterday's dance class. The instructor was telling them to find their belly buttons as part of an exercise. Accalia was taking her quite literally and was reaching her hand up the leg opening of her leotard in order to actually find her belly button. LOL! The instructor saw and quickly told her she didn't need to actually touch her belly button.
