The biggest hero of this week isn't big at all. He's just a regular 5-year-old from North Carolina. When Caleb Taylor woke from a nap in the backseat of his mom's car, he saw her having a seizure, and like any true superhero would do, he unbuckled, leaped forward, and managed to steer the car off the road and turn it off.

Naturally, the little boy has told reporters that he'd like to be referred to as Batman in the future.

It's tough to stay calm in an emergency -- I know more than a few adults who have a hard time keeping a level head when things go haywire. So the way 5-year-old Nathaniel Dancy Jr. responded when his dad got violently ill behind the wheel is nothing short of amazing. Thirty-three-year-old Nathaniel Dancy Sr. was driving his son home from a shopping trip for school shoes when he suffered an aneurysm and stroke. Somehow, miraculously, Nathaniel Sr. managed to pull over -- but he couldn't speak or move. That's when Nathaniel Jr. took over, grabbing his dad's cellphone and calling his grandma, Susan Hardy-Blackman. As soon as Grandma heard that Nathaniel Jr. and his daddy were in trouble, she had one foot out the door (being a grandma and all), but there was one major problem: Nathaniel Jr. had no idea where he and his father were.

Schools have supposedly made a huge effort in the past few years to offer healthier food options, but one little food critic says that effort is failing miserably. Eleven-year-old Zachary Maxwell, a fourth grader in New York City, who sounds like a combination of Morgan Spurlock and Jamie Oliver, made a 20-minute documentary highlighting his school's woeful lack of nutritious meals -- and even accused the school of false advertising. After his parents told him that they wanted him to eat school lunches -- considering how great they looked on the school's website -- Zachary argued that the online menus did not depict reality. Then he did what any precocious kid would do these days. He got out his video camera.

When photographer Jamie Moore was looking for inspiration for a portrait series for her daughter's fifth birthday she saw a lot of princesses. Not that there's anything wrong with that! Moore says she loves princesses. It's just that... "It started me thinking about all the REAL women for my daughter to know about and look up too," she writes in her blog. "REAL women who without ever meeting Emma have changed her life for the better."

So Moore went through photos of brave women who changed the world so that her daughter could be anything she wants to be -- an astronaut, a President, a doctor. She narrowed the list down to "five amazing, strong women" and used the photos to take portraits of her daughter inspired by the originals. The result is an incredible visual love letter to all our little girls and the women who paved the way for us all. You have to see this portrait series, "Not Just a Girl."

Parenting is a challenging endeavor no matter what your personal situation may be. Raising children is just not easy, but it can be fascinating, especially when you have great blogs to follow and read. Mombian is that kind of blog.

Written by Dana Rudolph, this blog is honest, smart, and always informative. Today, she helps The Stir celebrate Mother's Day by sharing one of her best loved posts with us. See below:

When I asked my 7-year-old son what he thought I should write in my parenting column about Mother’s Day, he said, "Tell them that having two moms is just like having two people of any kind take care of you, except it’s more work on Mother’s Day."

Stress is something we all have to deal with, no matter what our age, although some of us are clearly more capable of handling it than others.

And since kids are so resilient, they're often able to cope with it better, or at least one 6-year-old little girl knows how. The younger sister of Ltravis, a Reddit user, found what appears to be a little booklet entitled, "Positive Ways Our Family Handles Stress" in the waiting room of a doctor's office.

Her response to it is honestly one of the most hilarious things you'll ever see.

As parents, we're supposed to be the ones who keep calm in emergencies, right? Don't worry kids, we've got everything under control. But what happens when it's the other way around? Hopefully the kid in question is a lot like 6-year-old Cole Steffens, who was having a bedtime snack with his 17-month-old sister Bailey when she started to choke on a pretzel. "Within seconds, I heard this [makes choking sound]," says dad John. "A pretzel was lodged sideways in her throat."

"I lost it. I was bawling," he admits. Luckily, Cole kept his cool.

Sob! I just came across this video and I have to share: Camila Isabel Vick, a sixth grader, wrote and performed the most beautiful song for her mom when she was diagnosed with breast cancer. The song's title? "Mama's Song."

"Hi, my name is Camila Vick," this adorable girl says at the opening, her big brown eyes breaking my heart wide open. "I'm in sixth grade and I wrote an original song for my mom. At the time that I wrote the song, she was going through breast cancer and I just wanted her to know she was going to be OK."
