Be Brave

A few weeks ago, I made myself a little rule and wrote it on our dry erase board. Aidan asked me what it said, so I read it to her. “No worrying allowed.” She asked me why I wrote that, and I told her that I worry to much, so I was reminding myself not to worry.

This morning we were getting ready for school. She has a field trip today, and since it had been rescheduled, I couldn’t go with her. She was telling me how brave she was thinking about being. She wanted to be brave, but she didn’t want to be brave. All of the sudden, she stopped mid-sentence and she started pointing her finger to the dry erase board saying, “You should write Be Brave on that board because… (Then she started pointing to herself) ..some people in this house don’t know how to be brave around spiders.”
