Because as much trouble as your toddler may give you, and trust me, they do give you trouble, raising them and watching them absorb all you have to offer is special. My Aisley knows the words to "Hey Jude", and asks for Pink Floyd on the way to day care in the morning... she's 3! All she talks about is Guitar hero. The mere fact that she knows what Mississippi Queen, Sunshine of your Love & Paint it Black are is astonishing to me. It won't be long before we're surfing together.The whole thing blows my mind. But why should I be surprised. You think when you have a child, the way they will develop is some sort of crap shoot. The things they will like, and the way they will act will just materialize from... somewhere, and they will become this completely unique person. The reality is, that while a unique mix of 2 people, they watch you, what YOU say, what YOU do, how YOU act. They like things you like... at least for the most part. You really do get what you pay for, and if you put in the work, you seem to get the reward. It's not all hollywood, and there is definitely rebellion at times.
Selfishly however, I have enjoyed the recent fruits of 3 years of hard work by Crystal and I. I'm proud to say we've got a good girl. The work is by no means over, but at this point my life is sweet, and I'm tickled by it.Enjoy the recent photos, AA 2008.
