“If a child is to keep his inborn sense of wonder, he needs the companionship of at least one adult who can share it, rediscovering with him the joy, excitement and mystery of the world we live in.”
Rachel Carson

That means getting out there and playing with your children will mean more to them than something you buy them. It’s what great memories are made of!

A Child’s Sense of Wonder

Then a half-hour into the movie, my younger daughter leaned over and whispered seven dreaded words: “I need to go to the bathroom.” This despite my effort to make a last pit stop before we took our seats. I looked at her sister as she chortled at the screen, glanced around the theater, and wondered, “Do I make her come with us? Do I leave her? How do single parents do this? Is it different in the suburbs?”

I never thought of the bathroom issue, but this is a biggy. How does a single parent (father) handle this… and which bathroom do you take a four year old into??
