Before summer ended, Rem and I made her back to school banner together. π The perfectionist in me really struggled to let go and give her creative control. Then it dawned on me that I was completely losing the plot.
This banner was for HER! Celebrating HER accomplishments and new adventures! Making memories and watching HER create something SHE would be proud of was wayyyyyy more important than clean lines and blended paint. π₯°
Parenting is all about passing lessons on to your kids, but it's pretty damn cool when they reverse the role and remind you of a lesson or two.
So here's your literal sign that it's not always about the finished product. It's ok to take a step back and soak up the moment. π₯°
And no, I don't want to talk about the fact that I have a kindergartener. I'm still in denial. π₯Ή
