Someone once told me that children don't think in time, they don't really have a sense of it, so I try to remember that when letting Scarlett help me... definitely helps me to stand back and just watch her :) kind of like I don't have a sense of time either! Easier said than done though, eh?! :)Tawnya Fausthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07344990268295332969noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8162823605651034144.post-60405829336455389412014-11-07T08:48:06.427-08:002014-11-07T08:48:06.427-08:00I am the same way!

Though it’s no easy task to do so. I love this post. And love the picture of the waters in the fridge…melts my heart!

It isn't as neat as my OCD self would like it to be but he has fun and he is learning something in the process. I guess us Mommas need to let go some, right?Stephaniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02297382893543772858noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8162823605651034144.post-50319349787183447922014-11-05T17:21:50.561-08:002014-11-05T17:21:50.561-08:00Such a great post and loved finding your blog!

BUT, I've really been trying to get Marcus to help me more with simple every day tasks. He loves to help, and seeing the satisfaction - like stacking water or making lemonade - is just something that's near impossible to say no to.Desiree Mackehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12693020680303909151noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8162823605651034144.post-6745756971514148472014-11-05T14:17:57.493-08:002014-11-05T14:17:57.493-08:00I totally agree with this.

I try to let it go and make and let him help with stuff as much as I can handle it for the day lol.

One it's easier to involve her vs wondering if she's running around the house getting into trouble. but two (maybe more important) I want her to learn there's chores/work to be done and be a part of helping around the house from an early age. It helps that she mostly likes to help since she's in the "I can do it all by myself stage" already! :) Yay for saying yes!Jennyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00628556216175982242noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8162823605651034144.post-53243425484444065972014-11-05T09:25:03.088-08:002014-11-05T09:25:03.088-08:00Agree!
