We would go for walks everyday (him propped up in the wagon) and I read to him every night. I can't tell you how many hundreds of hours have been spent playing catch. Even now he's 11 and I tuck him in every night.
So you don't have to be one of those cuddly, mushy "kid people" to be a great parent. You only have to be that way with yours.

Totally agree - at least it was the same for me. I think parenthood is one of those things you can't fully understand until you experience it for yourself. Pre-children, I never could relate to the sacrifices parents made in the name of their kids (although I could appreciate the concept, I suppose). Now, I am right there in midst of it all, enjoying the ride (and sometimes hanging on for dear life!).
Oh, and good morning, girls!
