Thoughts for the future

I had the wonderful privilege of taking Katie to her basketball game today. She truly likes playing, and it was encouraging to see her attitude throughout it all, despite what looks like a lack of support for her efforts. I'm pointing the finger mostly at myself, as I know I could've done a better job of being that older brother who she looks when she needs that boost of confidence.

But several thoughts occurred to me today.

1) when driving with the (my) kids, tell them stories instead of passing off the entertainment to the headphones or dvd player.

2) I will not sign my kids up for sports that do not challenge them.

3) I desire to actively involve myself in my child's sport skill development.

These are very preliminary, with much more behind them than I am writing here.

Now...to live it out. Anyone can write something down...I guess I have a little time to solidify these thoughts. Emphasis on little?
