Jonah
You did the slide all by yourself today.
Well, I helped you, but it was still a big deal.
When I was drying you off you looked up at me.
You said “I am so proud of myself.”
I hope you always feel that way.
And I hope you think about me just for a second
the first time you teach someone to be brave.

Nice emotional content and moment here.
self esteem:
one small step for a child
one giant step for the parent that watches
Enjoyed the leap of time.
As a mother, I loved this piece.
Ah, this is wonderful!
