Sam fell down the stairs yesterday. All of the ones at my parents house, which is about 17 stairs. He climbed all the way up to get a toothbrush, then fell all the way down. It was quite a bit stressful. Jack saw him do it, I was in the kitchen making Jack a sandwich. Jack definitely cried more than Sam did. Sam was fine in about one minute (we even got a very expensive CAT scan of his head to prove it). Jack cried a lot more than Sam did.
So, last night, after we had returned from the ER and life had settled down, I was putting Jack to bed. We read a book called "How are you Peeling?" that talks all about feelings. Afterward, I said to Jack, "Jack, how did it make you feel today when Sam fell down the stairs?"
He sat there very quietly thinking, and then he said "Apprehensive."
He's four.
I said "Jack, how do you even know that word?"
He said "Pinky Dinky Doo says it, mommy."
So there you go. TV CAN teach your child something too!
