Sad and Blue

Last night as I was putting Lauren to bed, Blue Christmas by Elvis came on the radio, Lauren was asking why he was singing Blue Christmas and what that means. I explained to her that feeling blue is another way of saying that you feel sad. We talked about emotions for a few minutes and she seemed satisified with the answer. This morning on the way to Kindercare she said "Mommy, sometimes I feel sad", I asked why she felt sad sometimes and she said "because I'm turning blue".
