My daughter just asked me for a picture to take to school. I asked her what for and she told me it's for a 'hero project' and then said, "You're my hero, Mommy." OMG....words can never describe how it feels when a kid says that to you. Pure joy is close though.
I will add that she asked for me to be wearing appropriate clothing in it.
Still joy.
She also said that she wouldn't have to do research by picking me.
Hmmm. Tainted joy. :P
