My daughter amazes me with her confidence. Not long ago, we attended a jungle themed birthday party for one of my 5 year old daughter's friends. They hired a lady to paint the kids faces so they could all be animals. The party was filled with lions and tigers and zebras (oh my).
My daughter was bound and determined to get her face painted. She waited in the very long line. Other kids left the line to play "pin the tooth on the lion" but not her. She stayed in line through the pinata.
As the party went on, her oldest brother gave up his place in line to her because he saw how much it meant to her. When she finally sat in the chair, she said to the lady very politely, "Make me a butterfly please." There were no other butterflies there. I don't know where she got the idea.
She sat patiently through the process and came out beaming. The birthday girl got upset and told her that she was supposed to be a jungle animal. Without missing a beat, my daughter replied, "There are LOTS of butterflies in the jungle, so it IS a jungle animal."
That's my girl--the Mighty Butterfly--Queen of the Jungle!
