Momma Bear

I saw this on Facebook today :) I often call myself (well a side of me anyway) "Momma Bear." I think all Moms have that instinct to protect their kids, but when your child has challenges it seems like that protective, defensive, assertive Momma Bear-ness is even stronger. Over the last few years I have tried to be slower to react, while still listening to that fierce and loving instinct I have for my awesome children. However, I'm still proud to say that I'm a Momma Bear at heart :)
