I had to laugh, because I have frequently related motherhood to being like a mother tiger--babies crawling all over, gnawing on an ear, swatting at a face. YOu take it and take it and take it until you finally give 'em a swat that sends them spinning. I once had a friend call me a "closet hoverer." I don't LOOK like a hoverer--but I am. I do try to let them figure it out. . .while I hover above the surface. . .trying to look all nonchalant on the outside. The momma lion KNEW that her baby wasn't going to be stuck there forever--just long enough to learn a lesson. What a great post.

I'm afraid I lean a little too far the other way with my daughter, but I figure I can't be ridiculously helicoptering her if I'm still allowing stuff that makes my MIL gasp in terror!

L I am pretty good at being a lion. My twirlybird instincts only flash on when I see real impending danger. Small pains and difficult trials are good for my son to experience. It's my husband's arm I have to catch all the time, pulling him back to let Braden figure it out. And I love him for it. What a wonderful story! L
