YES, Leo! It's crazy how every little thing that they do is the most amazing thing ever. My kiddo clapped his hands the other day, and you would have thought he discovered the cure for cancer from our reaction.

Twan, see you already have the skills to be a parent. The fact that you realize that it's not an easy job or something you just step into lightly. It is a big decision. I have always found, too, that the best parents out there (including mine) don't act their age. You and R are going to be wonderful, fun parents. You will love it!

And you know, Twan - that feeling of still being a kid yourself should NEVER go away. My son is 11 and I still feel like I was sitting in a wild flower field with my nappy hair and my favorite pink striped shirt watching the coon dogs we had run (when I was like...4) just yesterday. And I think if we ever loose that "so much yet to learn" feeling, we stop growing. I understand that thought - and it doesn't and probably shouldn't go away.

I'm telling you though - read that chapter because it's rather suprising statistically how little we have to do with what our children become AFTER we've built the foundation they grow from.
