New hobbies...

The first time I let Scarlett set up a tripod and use my camera I experienced a huge "hover mom" moment,  I gave her a little freedom and gained a little for myself in return.  A year later, the older Dominic gets and the bigger I get during this pregnancy, the more I push my children into the playroom, shut the door, and leave all "hover" tendencies the fend for themselves in the very distant past. 

Now when I realize Scarlett has dragged my tripod and expensive camera all the way upstairs to take pictures of my closet, I smile, tell her to be careful, and call it a new hobby.
