Story Book Hero




Anna's current favorite read is what she affectionately calls her "big book." It's a giant book of all the Disney animated movies over the years. She loves to look at the pictures and say, "I have that movie," and then watch the movie and say, "That's like my big book!" She particularly loves the scene from Sleeping Beauty where the prince is slaying the dragon. She would often ask, "Why is the dragon biting?" The rest of the conversation usually goes on about how that's not very nice and that we don't bite other people. You know, the usual kind of topics you cover with toddlers. A few days ago, however, I noticed that Anna was placing her hand very deliberately over the face of the dragon. When I asked her what she was doing, she told me simply and genuinely, "I saved him." Aw!
