Ask me WHY again!

"Alright, Jordan, it's time to take a bath." I said in my happy dad voice.

"Why?" he quickly replies.

"When little boys play all day they get dirty and you don't want to be dirty."

"Why?"

"If you are dirty you will smell bad and be covered in germs!" I sternly reply in somewhat happy dad voice.

You see where this is going, right?

This is just another beautiful thing about children. They want to know why, how and they are curious. The answers matter to them and it's all new. As adults we have this stupid idea in our heads that if we don't know what it is we should avoid it or be afraid of it.

Ask yourself, why be average? Why not be great?

The ever changing, never ending list.

I hear a lot about bucket lists. I dunno, maybe I have one. More of my 'lists' are current lists, 5 year lists, 25 year lists...but I guess they all could be bucket lists because we don't know how much time we've got at the dance. Over the past 2 years my wants have drastically changed. I've been focusing on simpler things, true things. Not reaching so much for more, just trying to enjoy what is here more. That goes for family, friends, opportunity, relationships...not material things. (Except I really really want a canoe or kayak so I can get out on the water soon) Is it possible to make a list that won't change?  Is it possible to remain true to the values of a 34 year old father, when those very values seem to have shifted based on life experiences? Are the items on my list too specific? Maybe... Love Honesty Compassion Health Fun More to come on this one I'm pretty sure.

Take us out to the ball game.

Last night we ventured over to the Explorers baseball game after dinner, it was great. Jordan talked to the X's pitching crew out in the bull-pin for a while, and they ended up giving him a ball. He's such a sports guy! The pitcher that gave him the ball said, "Can you give it a throw?" and so he did...over his head out into left field! Of course my diva Bell had more fun doing spins and drinking a slush, but that's all good. I love my family.
