Things I hope to teach you...

Hi Chasen,

As I lay next to you I can't help but think about what it will be like when you're walking, talking, and making your own mark in the world.

Just like my Dad has done for me, I want to give you every opportunity to live a happy and fulfilling life. I hope to teach you a few things ranging from silly to serious along the way.

Now keep in mind that this is a partial list and will continue to evolve as I continue to learn life's lessons.

I hope to teach you:

How to kick ass (when needed)
Common courtesy and respect
To be thankful
How to throw a spiral
That there is always more to learn
To believe in yourself
To not take yourself too seriously
How to eat responsibly
To roll the t.p. over the top
How to set goals and achieve them
How to Dougie
How to Backflip
How to treat a lady
How to tie a tie
How to drive
That your family comes first
That your Dad IS cool
How to carry a tune
How to carry a conversation
A firm handshake

That's a healthy start to a list that will have to wait a few years to begin. For now, I'm pretty busy just watching you teach yourself how to crawl, speak, and manipulate us. Come to think of it, I won't have to teach you much because you'll ultimately have to learn for yourself. I'll be here to guide you along the way.

Love,

Dad

From this point on, we will be chasing Chasen around in perpetuity.
