Not long ago I took Tressa to the post office with me. The lady asked if she could have a lollipop, and of course I said yes. As I started walking away, Tressa says to the lady, "Can I have one for my brother and sister too?" "You sure can. If it's okay with mommy." It was definitely okay.
Sunday I did my grocery shopping and it was Tressa's turn to come with me. While shopping she spots a Hello Kitty juice (she'll spot anything Hello Kitty, it's her new obsession) and asks if she may have one. Then without saying anything she grabs a spiderman juice, and another Hello Kitty juice. "Tressa, you can only have one baby." "But my brother and sister need one too mom." I just smiled and let her put them into our cart.
She is nonstop thinking about the others around her. On days that I take Joseph or Amaya and they get their treat, they take it without ever thinking about the others, but sure enough when we get home, they're rubbing it in to the other two. Not Tressa. Tressa brings them something back. Tressa our kindhearted, sensitive, caring, considerate, sympathetic, generous, unselfish child.
