I can’t think of any better way to arive in DC than Union Station.

It’s true that this will stick with him forever. It’s hard when you have more than one kid to give them that individual attention – particularly when you get up to 3 and 4 (or more!) Very cool that you recognize and did something about it. You may have just broken my 12 year-old son out of ‘jail’ making me feel all misty ;)

How wonderful. I am sure you son will remember that weekend for a long, long time. Kids need their daddy. Anybody can be a father but a daddy is a whole different level. Good for you for making the time.

I’ve raised three daughters (29, 24, 19) and are in the final stages of adopting a four and six year old brother and sister.

Regarding daughters…. I always opened my daughters’ doors for them. Regardless of where we were, I always opened them. Reason being I wanted to instill into them at an early age that they needed to be respected. So when they began dating (group @ 15yrs, dbl @ 16 & single @23) and some yahoo guy did not treat them with the respect they deserved they would intuitively know it. Maybe not why but know something just wasn’t qjite right.

Best of luck with your young family. Next month they will all be graduating High School; or at least when you look back that’s what it will seem like.

Some of us get so caught up we forget about the simple things. As a parent , I can’t wait to begin the, “try it, you may like it” method. (Although, at 7 months,she has already tried wasabi foam and seemed to enjoy it. ha, ha!)

Oh, he is WISE.
