Day 3

R loves to light candles! The kid can't get enough of it. This was another one of those things that I always said no to. Now I see the benefit of letting him light the candles. It builds up his confidence and it encourages responsibility.

I'm noticing the kids are playing together better than usual today. I feel that by saying yes and not sweating the small things I am taking away a lot of stress from their lives and my own. It is much more stressful to have a kid upset over not being able to light candles than it is to actually help that child light the candles!
