Egg-Cookin' Colin
This was a really fun project. However, I experienced great technical difficulties with this final video.
You will find that this video is about my son Colin but also my transition into allowing him to grow up, which is still a work in progress. I find it is so hard to let your children be independent, especially with Colin. He is the youngest of my four children. As I watch him grow up, I watch myself age. Parenting is that difficult balance of meeting the needs of your child and letting them go. This video is a small snapshot of how this plays out in everyday life. A task as simple as cooking an egg can have the biggest impact on a child. This is actually a true story and how I felt that morning. Colin really did brag about cooking this egg for weeks. I guarantee if any of you asked about it today, you would hear all about it, in detail. It demonstrates the importance my role is in his life as a mom; not just to take care of him but to also teach him he can take care of himself.
