The Key Holder

Today was an epic day in our household. Today Corbin became a holder of the Sacred Key of Justice. It was forged in the center of a dying sun. Given only to those with the purest of hearts. The holder has a great responsibility to do good.

After he received this key and was told of it's power, Corbin's whole demeanor changed. He takes his responsibility as a Key Holder very seriously. He has taken absolute care of the key. And he has been a better listener than ever (YAY!).

Later tonight Corbin thanked daddy for the key. But daddy told him that he didn't give him the key. "The key saw the good in your heart and it chose you, Corbin!"

Before bed I overheard Jenalyn say, "Corbin, I'm so glad we have a Key Holder in our house."

We have a hero in our midst.

I love that it makes him feel special. And I love that it gives him a sense of purpose and a desire to be good. He gave me a big hug and said, "The key holder is at your service, mom." (melt my heart!)

(The key came in the mail along with a "win a car" mail spam and Jason and I decided to give it to the kids to play with. ...and then it erupted into this big, major thing. I think Jason read too many comic books when he was little. Oh, and The Key is sacred, so Corbin can't talk to anyone about it. Please don't mention this to him.)
