#1~ So important.
#2~ You mean your not supposed to do that?
#3~ I say please and thank you everytime
#4~ I really have to work on this one. I showed my daughter pictures of people cliff jumping. First thing she said, “Cannonball! Can we go there mama.” It’s hard to teach something you don’t practice.
#5~ Again so important.
#6~ Spiders are our bestest friends.
#7~ Everyday a good day.
#8~ No comment.
#9~ Then onto some frontside 50-50’s, nollie backside 180 heel flips, and a sweet Kickflip McTwist. Forget the wheelie.
#10~ By far the most important.
Like I said before, Aspen is one lucky girl.
The best advice coming from a fabulous father ;).
I love her name. Aspen is a fabulous name.
Sorry that I bailed on Raleigh. I had an escape plan that involved Buffett so I ran with it. I will be in Raleigh again.
Great list DAD :)
How 'bout adding: Question everything...regardless of who is telling you not to :)
Always has and will continue to get me in a lot of trouble.....Not because of what Im asking ....but because of the askee's own insecurity......When will it be OK to just say..." I dont know, but I will do my best to find out and get back with U"? Thats all I'm asking......
oh...there I go again.....haha!
You appear to be raising a strong and beautiful daughter... congratulations Dad. :)
gnat,
welcome hon. thank you
k,
thank you sweetheart! sadly, all i can teach her is the ollie and MAYBE the 50-50 frontside (in my day) but i beg to differ with the wheelie! other than that, im glad to see were in such agreement ;)
blonde,
thankyou very much. and i dont blame you for bailing, hell, i'd leave a naked nicole kidman alone in my bed for a buffett show (and thats saying something!) so i think we have the same priorities ;)
doc,
that was the idea i was trying to get across with #10 but i like the way you worded it better.
when do we get to see that profile pic in a larger format already??
H20pixie,
thank you oh so kindly!
If only all parents would teach their kids the same. *sigh*
Found your site thru 'next blog' over the wkend. Lovely. Keep it up. And Aspen is truly lovely with THE MOST BEAUTIFUL RED HAIR EVER! Have a soft spot for the reds....
I once intentionally killed an Army Worm with a weedwacker and felt intense remorse afterwards.
i'm gonna send you an undersized "#1 Dad" t-shirt for this mr. #1 dad!!!!!
