Moving at the SPEED of Time!

Talking, laughing, almost walking and two months away my LittleYO turns 1 years old. Amazing how time flies...

One of the things that I remember most when I was younger was having to sit in the corner of the classroom when I couldn't prevent myself from expressing myself, mostly at in appropriate times! "Go sit in the corner for 10 min and be quite!" teacher after teacher, classroom after classroom. 10 min used to seem like forever and if you add them all up, I'm sure it was. Grounded for a day seemed like eternity. Not any more....

Time is a funny thing, now a days, weeks and years go by at the speed of light. I think as DaddyYO's we can not forgot that our LittleYO's wrist watch moves slower (relative time and space) then ours and we can not forgot to put our words into their perspective; in a way consistent with their understanding of the world. Talk like them, get on the ground and play... be 10 months again with your littleYO's! grow with them...they will tell you what they know and what we can do to help.

I admit I was always selfish, it was great! Loved every minute of it! However, I'm learning quickly that its not about us DaddyYO's, never was. Its about our kids, our family the importance of close friends and enemies. Something I knew nothing about being young and probably, on more than one occasion, reasons why many parents and littleyo's argue while growing up. We learn through life that these are things that become most important in life.

We daddyYO's can not forgot to keep things in perspective for our littleYO's. It's up to us to "keep it real" and consistent with their understanding. Nothing is more important than the present. How we choose to speak to our LittleYO's will determine the level of trust, respect and type of relationship in the later years, which for me, in light speed, is tomorrow.

Live, Laugh and Love!
