Healing Kisses

I always kiss the boys "boo-boos" to make them feel better. Today, I bumped my elbow, pretty hard. Hard enough for an "ouch" to cross my lips. Luke asks, " Mommy what happened?" I bumped my elbow, pretty hard and it hurts. "OH—can I kiss it better for you?" Yes, please.
Luke kisses it better and then says, "I think you need a band-aid."

Hope this is a sign I'm raising compassionate kids who care about others, their feelings, and how they can help to make others feel better. It certainly made my elbow feel better.
