A Helicopter Parent in the Making?????

So no one ever told me that there would be homework in preschool. The assignment was simple enough, put together an "All About Me" poster with my child. Mekhi and I do craft projects fairly often so it seemed like it should be a breeze. We have a ton of crayons, pencils, pastels, markers and glitter. The only thing I needed to do was pick up some poster board. In my usual fashion I added another level of difficulty to the situation. I decided we needed pictures and that meant wading through the gazillion photos that I have to determine which ones were poster worthy. I felt like Elaine on Seinfield, remember when she had to determine if a beau was sponge worthy? Why? Well, I only have a limited amount of picture paper. Four sheets to be exact. It was a mission.

This is preschool, I am really not sure why I agonized over it so much. I should have picked a couple of photos and been done with the process. But no, I decided I needed to do some editing and downloading of more pictures from my camera. It ended up taking a few hours - HOURS! Mekhi and his dad did the actual decorating of the board and it is beautiful. I just added the pictures after the glitter dried. Here is the final product

Age appropriate, yes? According to his teacher, Mekhi did a great job talking about his poster. But now I am concerned about my future. If I am spending this much time on pre-school projects what do the next 16 years have in store for me?
