I had a good opportunity to practice letting go of some control this morning. I was folding laundry when Luke came up to me, watched for a moment, and then asked to fold his own. He has been doing this recently, so I said, "Sure, would you like me to remind you how to fold things?"
"No," he replied, "I have a better way...let me show you."
And so, he did it his way and I did my best not to jump in. End result: oddly folded laundry and a very satisfied three-year-old.
