Momfessional Moments: #yesmom!

Today is Show & Tell Tuesdays with Momfessionals! I've been reading Andrea's blog for over a year now (maybe it's been two) and I've always admired how much she's a "Yes, Mom".  From letting her boys play outside all day, to lots of arts and crafts (even though she works full time and I have no idea how she gets it all done!), to letting her middle wear mismatched shoes because that's what he likes. 

Today's Show & Tell Tuesdays is all about your "Momfessional Moments". To me, I took this as a "Yes Mom" approach. I'm confessing all the times that I said yes to my kids, even though my better judgement or inner voice, made me want to stop the moment and have my kids do it "my way."

I am slowly, very slowly, learning to let things go. It's really hard as a Type A to really let my kids go free and establish their own likes when I want things perfect and orderly. Which, let's face it, does NOT happen when you have three kids and you're on the go, go, go. Every once in a while, I let go, let my kids be kids, and have some control. 

These are my Momfessional "Yes Mom" moments:

That time when Megan wanted to wear her pink shoes with orange socks with her MJ outfit, even though it has light pink and not a touch of orange. #yesmom

(This girl insists on wearing socks with shoes, and it drives me crazy!)

That time when Megan wore my belt.

That time when Megan wore her jacket in Disney World even though it was a sweltering 80 degrees.

That time when Adalyn ate only her dessert for dinner and made a huge mess.

That time when I let Gretchen choose blonde hair rather than brown when getting her hair done at Bippiti Boppiti Boutique. And, even though I thought it looked a little skunk like, she loved it because it was "Elsa" hair.

That time Adalyn played in my bathroom cabinets just so I could get dress and she could stay happy.

The time that Adalyn ate a doughnut at football right before lunch.

The time we had ice cream for dinner.

The time the girls wanted to take their picture in front of the newly erected statue at church, and I wasn't sure if it was against the rules.

The time I let the girls use bathtub "paint".

The time Gretchen wore her hair like this to school.

And the time I let Meggie play with wet sidewalk chalk in her pj's after bedtime.

Thank you Andrea for making me more of a "yes mom" and realizing that these little things won't hurt them or me in the grand scheme of life. In fact, it will probably make these girls love life a little more! 

And if you want to join along next time. Here's the schedule!

Thanks for stopping by today!

XOXO
