Just let them play 💗
My toddler was pulling the spoons out of the dishwasher and playing with them. I was getting frustrated and starting to raise my voice. She looked sad. I took a breath, stepped back, and asked to see the spoons. She showed me her art. Instantly I felt so bad. She was creating something. She was having fun, using her talents, and I raised my voice at her because she didn’t use the spoons how I thought she should. Let this be a reminder to not extinguish the spark in their eyes. Let them play mama. Just let them play. 💗💗💗

As a mom, I love this reminder! Sometimes we forget that children see the world in a beautiful, innocent way that’s hard for us to understand. Thanks for reminding me to take a breath next time my kiddos are doing something like this ❤️
