For the most part, this blog has been mostly about the kids. Whether it was something funny they said or did, or something frustrating, I would write about it. The last year I have been not writing as much so in the quest for new material, I am going to start writing more about me.
Recently, my son Harper has challenged me to be a better parent. Or shall we say, a gentler, kinder parent. :) It seems that I have let my grouchy side show a bit more than he would like. I am sure he also speaks on behalf of his siblings. Although I am certain the intervention was completely his own doing. That being said, I am going to try and challenge myself to live up to his ideals. After all, less grouchy, more happy could not be a bad thing for anyone.
So, I am going to try and use this blog as a way of keeping myself in check. I really want to be a better Dad for them and they deserve that. So, while I will continue to write about all the charming and amusing things they do, I will also call myself out when needed and perhaps, even give myself a little credit. In the end, the goal is to be a better Dad and a better person. Wish me luck!
