wiping tears

Tonight while reading to Lauren there was a page where all the animals were sad because someone had eaten the birthday cake. Lauren gets up from the couch and goes to get a tissue and wipes the giraffes eyes on the page. She tells them, "its okay gaff". Then gets down and gets another tissue...she wipes the tiger's eyes and says something sweet to him...she does this once more before I tell her that we can just read the next page when they will be happy again... She asks the animals, "that make you happy, okay?" and we continue to read the book. These are the moments I just love to watch and try to figure out what is going on in her head...
