The other day I left the kids with Gong and came home after errands. Gong said that the boy has been taking lots of photos on my camera. I paused a moment. Instead of getting mad and blowing up at him. I simply said "Oh, show me the photos you took." The boy was all smiles and show me the random pictures he took of behinds, his sister, and furniture. It was interesting to see from his perspective. But most importantly, I felt proud that in that moment, I chose not to fight that battle and be an invested, present and consciously aware parent.
