So, hello there, Froggie...
I figured that it was long past time that I weighed in and gave you a few words. Your Mom and I are going to make mistakes. We know that going into this. But, we also know that, regardless of any of our mistakes, we will be there for you. I am a terrible role model and I would hate for you to make some of the mistakes that I have made but, I understand that each of use has to find our own way. I will do my best to give you wisdom, gained through my blood, sweat and tears, comfort, from the many hugs and protection I hope to provide and, more than anything else, smiles and laughter because, a life without smiles - a life without laughter is a life unworthy of your time.
Your mother and I are both stubborn. this is not especially important, I just wanted you to know. We will both want to get our way both with you and each other. Sometimes that will cause friction. You should know now that it will happen from time to time. Mom and I are an amazing team but we are still individuals. We both have our opinions on things and they sometimes clash. It doesn't change our feelings for you or for each other. That is just, sometimes, how we operate.
Mom is really bad about uncovering surprises that are meant for her. That said, it is totally o.k. to be sneaky when it comes to planning fun things for Mom. Otherwise, you should try to be honest.
P.S. - Don't try to grow up too fast. Being a kid is one of the best things this world has to offer and you should try to enjoy the wonder and candor that come with the territory. try to keep your eyes open and marvel at the natural surprises that the world has in store for you if you just take the time to see them. I will do my best to point out a few once you get here.
