Truth be told I am addicted to doing crafts and baking with my kids. I feel it's a time I truly focus on them and it's great bonding!
Someone once told me that the hardest thing for a parent is to let go of control and have your kids do something without us expecting them to do it the way we want them to do it. That's a lot harder then one would think. When it comes to crafts I cringe at times but try my best for them to do it on their own. THEIR way.
Well Wednesdays are my day off and this morning I decided to make more Minion Valentine's with my soon to be three year old. She's pretty independent and likes my help to a point but really attempts to do everything on her own. Needless to say there was a lot of " oh no, ugh, mamma help, oh nice" coming out of her mouth. This is her craft:
When she wasn't looking I fixed them all.
What can I say...I am not ready to fully let go of control!
