The pat on the back

When my children need comfort I usually pull them close and pat them on the back. So over the span of Lizzy's life she has been on the receiving end of the pat a few times. So over the last couple of months I have noticed her copying me in that regard. If William needs so comfort she will pat him. If she is giving an adult a hug, sometimes she will pat the adult on the back during the hug. I love it. Last night she was having a rough night and I was holding her and cuddling and patting her back, and so in turn she hugged me and started patting my back. Oh so cute.
