Lazy Parenting

So, with my due date fast approaching and my belly ever expanding I have developed some very lazy parenting techniques. Lately it has been to let Jude get into things and make messes when otherwise I would intervene. This morning I let him play 52 pickup with a card game just because it kept him quiet and occupied while I ate my breakfast. The other day I let him place, one by one, his snack of puffs into his toy drum kit. That same day I let him unpile the stacks of diapers ready to go for our new little one int he nursery. I also let him go crazy with the newspaper, although he is learning to "make a pile". Unfortunately this lazy technique coincides with Judes interest in crawling into spaces, shelves, baskets, benches, etc which usually need to be emptied first. Ah well...messes can always be cleaned up later, right?
