Empathy

Writing about Aida's shoe obsession last night reminded me of this video.

I filmed it on June 4, right after we discovered a sweet book called "Gossie" at the library. As you will see, Gossie is a gosling who likes to wear red boots.

Yes, boots.

Something Aida can relate to.

Soon after we started reading this book to Aida, we noticed she had the same reaction every time we got to the climax -- the part where Gossie tragically loses her boots.
