To be a hero



Brookie drew this recently in her 1st grade class. I found it among a bunch of miscellaneous things in her backpack. I immediately put it in the "save" pile.

Her writing states, "My hero is my mommy."

She got the highest grade, a 4, and a "good work" comment from her teacher.

It is a picture of me "saving" her from Samoa, because when Samoa gets feisty, she is a bit of a moose and she is now bigger than Brooke.

Occasionally, Brooke needs to be rescued from Samoa's love.

It is my honor to be called her hero. Mommies (and daddies, of course) are meant to be the safe haven, and apparently I am doing a fine job.

And that is the most important thing ever.
