Today I came out of the bathroom to find my son standing on top of a bar stool and eating (with his fingers) out of the peanut butter jar. I went to tell him 'no' and clean up the mess, but then I stopped myself. You know what? That's not something that you can really do as an adult, let the kid eat peanut butter out of the jar if he wants. It's not hurting anything.
I really hate 'messy' and I struggle to let my kids do things like play in the dirt or eat chocolate ice cream. I need to remind myself that kids are supposed to get messy and as a good mother you can't say 'no' to everything.
