The Lovely Sensitive Savvy

Having a super duper mega sensitive daughter can be a bit tricky at times.  But there are lovely dovely moments when we realise how special it is that Savvy is so in tune with her heart and the hearts of those around her.

- If Sav is looking stressed, we'll let her know we have noticed and it's often something so sweet, "I'm just worried about your sore knee, Mommy."

- She sobs, proper streams of happy tears, when Nemo is reunited with his Dad.

- In a classic tale of "the missing boots", where MegaDob's pannier fell from his bike, lost forever (holding, of course, Sav's precious boots), Sav became ever so concerned about her Dad, not wanting him to worry that he had lost her favourite boots.

- Sav has many a nightmare, playing through various natural disasters and worrying about herself, but more importantly the fate of others.

- She still talks about losing Nonna, worrying deeply about Glen, Nonno, and others and how they are coping. She does the same for close friends and still has a million questions about her Auntie Sha Sha losing her mom, Carole, and whether Shark will ever be the same. And what can Savvy do to make Shark feel better.

- Yesterday, on father's day, celebrating one of the world's greatest Dads, Sav made him a special ring of love that he could sit in to open his presents.  She'd made him tissues, jewelry, cards, and had even set aside 10 cents for him from her own wallet. (Savvy hoards her pennies so 10 cents was BIG!).

So, we'll manage with the not-THAT-shape-of-pasta, my-laces-AREN'T-tight-enough, I'm-leaving-this-RUBBISH-family-FOREVER tantrums and enjoy the benefits of our wonderful sensitive Sav.
