“I like myself because…”

I went to Brandon’s school to drop him off.  Last week was “All about me” week, and there was a large piece of butcher paper hanging on the wall.  The question each child was posed was, “What do you like yourself?”  They had to answer, “I like myself because…” and each child’s response was written next to his or her name.  I went down the list and some responses were “I have pretty hair”, “I have long legs,” and Brandon’s, “I take care of my little sister.”  I then scanned the rest of the answers to see if he just copied the other kids’ answers.  The next closest answer was “I take care of my mommy.”  I’m so glad that he feels this way.  I think this was probably right before he smacked her in the nose with a jar of legos and gave her a bruise on the bridge of her nose on Friday night.  I can now remind him of his answer.
