The solution is to track the number of enters/leaves. In you overall control add a counter:

private int mouseEnterCount = 0;

In the MouseEnter handler do this:

if (++mouseEnterCount == 1)
{
   // do whatever needs to be done when it first enters the control.
}

In the MouseLeave handler do this:

if (--mouseEnterCount == 0)
{
   // do whatever needs to be done when it finally leaves the control.
}

and do the above MouseEnter and MouseLeave event handlers for ALL the child controls as well as the containing object.
