I've been seeing lots of Mama's (and other Dad's too actually) write little notes to their kids. Like...rules of life, wisdom nuggets, whatever you want to call them.
So. I'm jumping on this bandwagon.
Maybe not once a day. For a year. But just little nuggets of wisdom that I want my boys to know. Things that I think they should learn. Real life. Real emotions. Real things.
I think I'm going to put them into a book. A book where they can look back...I could look back...at all the real life things I taught them, that in between telling them to clean their room's and eat their vegetables, might have gotten lost in the shuffle.
Lesson 1: Never be too proud to ask for help. It's okay to need it. And even better if you can admit it.

Yes, I think this is a great project for all parents to do. Like you said it doesn't have to be everyday, but I do think that our kids need to have this to look back on when they get older and feel like they've lost their way. I keep a journal for Moo and I'm always writing advice and telling her about lessons that I've learned.
