His favorite game for a long, long time will be playing with you. Be available. Even when you're tired. Even when the presentation went south. Be available. Even when you "still have just one more post to post. Be available.

Show him how to call you at work. Then take his calls. Forever.

Teach him a love for books. Read to him often, talk to him about books, get him books that he is interested in and talk to him about the books you're reading.

My girl can barely spell, but we tell knock-knock jokes back and forth across instant messaging while I'm at work.

Very fun.

My father....I am sure he loved/loves me. But he was removed. Never saw me play softball......even though I played using his old mit wishing every game he would come and cheer me from the sidelines. I hoped maybe he would recognize that I was a lot like him.

Fathers....love your little girls. Make sure they know you love them and are proud of them. There isn't anything else in this world that can substitute the influence of a father on a daughter and nothing else quite fills the whole when a father is absent.

Happy Father's Day to all you wonderful Fathers.

Remember that little boys get distracted by bugs and dirt and grass and other players and lots of other stuff when they start playing sports, even while a game is going on around them. Yelling does not help them love sports.

In spite of what we often think, sometimes we really don't know and are just assuming. Allow your child to be heard. Sometimes this will clear up our misconceptions.
