Step 2: A few days later Stetson picked his color and we spray painted it (Stetson acually didn't even get to do that because the nozzle was so hard to push down) and a couple days after that, Stetson decorated it exactly how he wanted to and I was pleased as punch even though he put eyeballs on the monster's head and where I thought the nose should be, I was so glad he could do what he wanted. This boy surprises me every day but I sure am crazy about him. I remember learning in my child development class in college that there is a lot of value in giving your child decision making opportunities, even if it means their clothes don't match or their valentine boxes don't exactly fit the "mold." It seemed like a lot of the valentine boxes were made by parents and I felt good that I'd let Stetson do his own thing.

It turned out so cute! Way to go crafty mom!
That is such a sweet valentine box. It is really hard to just let them do it how they want...good job on that!
