One of the coolest things about being a parent is sharing with your children all the things that you yourself enjoy, and giving them an opportunity to maybe enjoy it, too! If they don't, then OK, fine. We'll try something else. But if they DO!!!??? Wow! Imagine the sheer joy of watching them for the first time hit the beach and play in the sand with a sunset ocean view RIGHT THERE where you got to see the ocean for the first time! Or taking the girls out for an afternoon of shopping and pedicures.... :) Or, if you're my husband, it would probably be the first time he gets to take them scuba diving! Yes, we're still a few years away from that one, but they are NOT too young for..... FOOTBALL!!! Yes, many a Monday night has been spent yelling at the TV, high-fiving after a touchdown, and of course, enjoying "football snacks" (anything fun to munch on during a game.)
Ma-lak has recently taken a special delight in rooting for "his guys", who apparently are the Dallas Cowboys. The other morning, he excitedly told me, "Mommy! My guys are playing today! I can't wait! I hope they win!" He proceeded to tell me they were playing the "New Orleans Vikings", and that it should be a close game. Guess Daddy has a little football educating to do, but it'll be a fun ride in the mean time!
