Feelings

Yesterday Emily was pretty sick. She was up a lot the night before, which now seems characteristic of any illness she gets. At one point during the night, I tried to inquire what was actually wrong. Emily's reply: "My feelings hurt." At first I was a bit confused because I thought she kept saying her fingers hurt. After much repeating, I finally got it. The poor thing! She obviously must have heard us say that before and since she didn't know what was actually wrong with her, that was her response. I tried to explain to her that her feelings didn't hurt; she just didn't feel well. Emily's response: "I not good, Mommy." I love toddler talk!
