There is a time in a parent's life when you begin to teach more independence. Some children are born independent. Some children are born strong willed. There is a difference.
Since we are very close to double digits, I have begun the process of allowing more independence.
#1
For example,
in preparation for the BIG Christmas Play tomorrow night, I allowed Connor to go get a boys' cut. I stepped next door to purchase a few gift cards for Christmas while he got the job done.
"Mom I told them I wanted my haircut like the guy who was eaten by an anaconda." -Connor
I can't even... I.. (sigh)
A Shepard like no other.
(I did come in time to stop discussion of purple powder hair dye.)
Lesson #2
While I shopped for a few Secret Santa items I requested Connor go and find something special for his sister from himself.
I found him walking through the aisles....
telling people he was about to be eaten by an anaconda "I like anacondas, not the Nicki Minaj anaconda because it isn't nice".
I can't even... I.. (sigh)
