Flora is very much her own person. She proved that last night when, after watching adults play capoeira for an hour, she begged me to let her go play. I handed her off to David and they entered the hoda. She kicked and mimicked some capoeira postures, she didn't care that she had a large audience. She was having fun.
I was so impressed that my tiny little girl (for those of you who have never met Flora she really is tiny, even by a two-year-old standards) stood in the middle of a towering circle of loud people, all eyes on her, and did what SHE wanted to do. The girl is fearless.
Remember this face, she's come to do great things. |
Do you remember the first time you were truly impressed by one of your child's personality traits? Share.
I love this story, I wish I could have seen her and David play.
ReplyDeleteI will tell you that my girl has impressed me many times by doing scary things even though she had a gut wrenching amount of fear. Now that's brave!
Fearlessness is a good trait to have...next stop for Flora, world domination. Go Flora!
