As I have written about before, I have control issues. I have been working on these, especially when it comes to letting my kids help me in the kitchen. As well as letting them decorate cookies and other various activites that I have struggled with letting them do over the course of their lives. I know I am not doing them any favors by trying to control EVERYTHING. They deserve to learn as they go. I am working on it.
This week, they decorated cupcakes to look like Turkeys! They did an excellent job. All the kids participated in it. I have let them help me make cookies and dinner, as of recently. Cameron especially likes to help in the kitchen. He made his own ramen after his teeth were worked on this past week. Which brings me to another "BIG" event in which I had no control over what was happening. Cameron went to the surgical center to have some cavities filled and sealants put on. His dad took him up there, because I had to work. This took a lot for me not to try and control EVERYTHING, even though I was at work. I had to have faith that Cameron and his dad would be ok without me. They were! The girl's went to the neighbor's house. It all turned out ok.
This is a daily battle for me. I am not sure people know how hard it is for me.
