• Give my kids a sense of their own space...themed nurseries, playground or playhouse in the back yard, or a play room in the family room.
  • Document their lives by video taping them, taking lots of pictures, and recording memorable moments in journals for them to read and see when they are older.
  • Have art time with them and save all their work no matter how insignificant to show them one day. Make art using anything: paint, crayons, pencils, collages, clay, etc.
  • Protect their innocence and childhood for as long as I can, they are only young once.
  • Encourage them to create their own style but don't give them so much liberty that they are walking around inappropriately.
  • Allow them to play and get dirty. Let kids be kids.
  • Read to them every day until they are old enough to read themselves and then have them read to me.
  • Tell them I love them every single day
