Letting go

I'm a control freak . . . there I said it. If you know me really well, you will be nodding your head in agreement. I think sometimes I tend to hover, not let the kids "explore" because I like for things to be clean, for their clothes to be spotless, and to not have to mop the floor after every meal and snack. Well, yesterday, Lil Pete wanted so badly to feed yogurt to himself. So I let go . . . Let's just say, he had fun. I did too - until I had to clean it all up, that is! And yes, he has a pink bib on . . . I let go of that a long time ago.
