This is Balla the dog. On several occasions, she has been known to sprout pretend wings and soar around the house helping those in need. "To the rescue!" the child I nanny shouts, and then off they go to rescue some other toy or pet who appears to be in grave peril.Yesterday, the preschooler I nanny was talking about their heroes. The child's mother was listed in the number one spot, "because she helps people, and that's what heroes do". This woman is a wise, gifted, naturopathic doctor, and she does help a lot of people. I agree. She is a hero!
A short while later, the child also said that I was a hero, too, because I help the child. I am very blessed to have such affirmation given in my job without request! What a gift this child's simple observation was for me.
