Spend Time With Your Kids

Kids grow up.

I remember my son being about 4 years old and wanting me to hold him so that he didn't have to walk around anymore in the grocery store.

At first, I huffed a little because I thought, "You can walk!".  But then, I thought, "There's going to come a time when he's not going to ask you to pick him up anymore, and when you won't be able to either.  Pick him up while you still can.", so I did.

I also remember a time when he was maybe three years old and he wanted to have me there while he was taking a bath.  At first, I wanted to stay out in the living room and finish watching a TV show and just tell him to call me in there when he was done, but I'm glad that I didn't.  He told me stories, and I recorded them!  : )  It's cool to listen to him making lots of airplane noises in his "story":  "Mearrrrrr and then Pishhhh and then Shewwww!", and then all of the sudden, he'd say, "And that's the end.  Yet's hear it!".   : )  (He couldn't say "L" words, so he said, "Yet's".)  : ) I'd rewind it, we'd listen to him talking, and he loved it!  Then he'd tell me that he was going to tell me another story, I'd press "record", and he'd do just about the same thing again.   : ) 

I like this song by Steven Curtis Chapman -- "Cinderella".  After the song, he tells the story behind the song.

Enjoy.
