Letting Go


Justus is becoming more and more independent. His speech is getting better. He is getting bigger and smarter. I can hardly handle it. I want him to remain my little boy forever. While I love his independence...I know some day I will miss the days when he wanted me to do simple tasks for me. I also have come to realize that he would probably gain even more independence if I could just let go. This morning was my first step. Justus decided he wanted to put his socks and shoes on this morning....something I typically do for him even though he is perfectly capable. It took every ounce of self control for me to allow him to wear one of his socks upside-down and the Velcro not really attached all the way. I think I have some issues with being a control freak...but I'm learning that I need to let go of that control every once-in-awhile.
