I don't think it's a small thing at all! I don't know anything about parenting, obviously, but it sounds like you did exactly what he needed: looking at a situation that wasn't working, tried to figure out what about it wasn't working (he needed a bit of exploration & the chance to feel some control over the environment), and devised a strategy that respected both of you.
I think this approach is the sort of thing, too, that feeds on itself in such a good way. Success that you have together inspires you to continue and gives you confidence for new challenges that will arise. ♥
