Firstly, lets define empathy: "the 'capacity' to share and understand another's 'state of mind' or emotion. It is often characterised as the ability to "put oneself into another's shoes", or in some way experience the outlook or emotions of another being within oneself."
So this is what happened: Yesterday morning we were playing in bed and Noah got a little rough with me. I told him that it hurt and it made mamma sad, and that he has to be more gentle. He then looked at me for a couple of seconds, took his dummy (napp in Swedish) and put it in my mouth and smiled at me. It was such a sweet gesture but at the same time quite funny so I couldn't help myself and started to laugh out loud. And so did he, so we just sat in the bed and laughed together. What a moment!
