My Slightly Sensitive 4 Year Old.

Time for another Cameron-does-the-sweetest-things segment!

Preface: We are Netflix obsessed in this house. We almost NEVER watch

anything on regular cable. That being said, my husband came across a show

called Flash Point. I have no idea if it's on/was on in the states, but it's based in Canada.

Long story short, it's a police drama that my whole house now likes.

Before you start lecturing me about age appropriate television for my children,

I will say, that they don't watch this alone, and the writers have done a great job

keeping it family friendly.

Blah, blah, blah... get to it, right?!

So anyway, Flash Point has sort of made it's way into our nightly routine as of late.

After potty breaks, clean diapers, brushing teeth, pajamas, and bedtime snacks,

we usually migrate to the sofa for the next episode.

A few nights ago, the story line revolved around a birth couple abducting

their biological child from the child's adoptive parents. There's a few tense moments, 

but in the end, the police recover the baby and return him to his parents, unharmed.

At this point, Eva and JP are asleep, and it's just me and Cam hanging in there for the ending.

I just happened to glance over at Cameron at the moment the baby is brought home,

and he's got TEARS IN HIS EYES. 

Me (slightly panicked): "Cam? What's wrong?"

Cam (starting to cry): "I was just so worried about that baby, Mom."

It was so sweet! I went on to explain that it's just a show, but the baby made

it home just fine... that there was nothing for him to worry about.

We quickly decided to call it a night, and I walked him upstairs to tuck him in.

Just as I thought the baby worries had passed...

Cam: "I need to talk to you."

Me: "Okay. What's up?"

Cam: "If we get another baby, are bad guys going to try and take

him from us? Like the show?"

I was already regretting letting him watch it, and now I felt even worse.

Thankfully after reassuring him that no one would come in our home and

try to take any future babies from us, he fell asleep without issue.

And yes, he's still asking us to "get" another baby.

His sensitivity and concern was so sweet though! I'll be totally honest, 

he's not always the nicest brother and the kids have their scuffles, but at the

end of the day, he really does have a gentle heart. 

And I love him all the more for it.
