color, mommy!

sometimes i wonder if i'm a helicopter mom. there's so much research that's saying that that style of parenting produces children who lack independence, confidence, problem-solving skills, understanding of consequences or natural relationship to their parents. so... not what i want for mosey.

cut to tonight: our son asked if he could color after dinner, which was nice. a low key activity. he pulled out all his crayons, opened up the coloring book, and asked me to sit down with him. every time i stopped coloring for a while, he would hand me a new crayon and tell me, "color, mommy!" this went on for about half an hour. the entire page was filled with beautiful scribbles of color! i was quite proud, honestly. i'm hoping this doesn't count as helicopter mom'ing, because it was so enjoyable to just sit and color with him.

also, i think he's officially left-handed. i could just die of pride.

on a more disturbing note, i broke a crayon tonight and considered hiding it from mosey so that the next time he used it, he would think he broke it instead of me. what?? this kind of thought doesn't even cross my mind usually. where has my integrity gone? i'm a terrible person.
