Melt My Heart Like Warm Butter! I’m Not Crying, You’re Crying!
Tips for raising happy, healthy, and active kids.
My daughter’s giggle lights up my world. I love being a parent…. even more than I thought I would.
Admittedly, as a younger man, I wasn’t sure that I wanted kids. Self-absorbed in my own activities, I failed to see how we could enrich each other’s lives. Even once my little blessings arrived, I struggled through the baby phase a bit. It seemed difficult for us to connect.
When my son was born, people said he looked exactly like me. I wasn’t sure what they were seeing. Yeah, he looked exactly like me if I were a 20" long yellow raisin!
Fast forward several years and it turns out they were right! The little bugger looks and acts just like me. I just hadn’t seen it earlier.
It took me some time to realize that my kids are indeed the greatest blessing I’ve encountered. They are currently at a fun age where we can interact, play, laugh, and be goofy together. They even still think I’m cool (even though I’m not!). I am enjoying every minute of being “Dad”!
However, even though we now enjoy a very tight bond, we also have some of the struggles common in so many families today.
