Patch the friendly little man

Patrick is such a sweetheart. He's always been tuned into emotions. He's not particularly sensitive himself but he notices if I have a TV show on for myself (which is rare in his presence) and there's sad sounding music or crying (thank you Bachelor franchise for all of your predictable background music...and crying). He'll ask "what's sad?" or "why are they sad?" or "Is it scary?" The first time I remember him doing that was when he was almost 2 years old. We were listening to the radio at Christmastime and something like "Silent Night" or "Ave Maria" came on. He asked "Is this sad?" Adorable.
