1. PLAY with the boys as much as possible. Play - it’s their profession for the time being. Kicking a ball, play Bakugan with them, play Wii…. You know… the boys stuff. The boys do not want to play Wii with me cos’ I cannot play as well as you. So good job and well done. To our lil’ girl, she loves snuggles, tickles, story telling, role playing….be part of her growing up years. Bear this in mind – be their role model and mentor.
2. Have dates with your boys. Bring them out once a month…. all boys night…Yes, of course I may be worried and wonder if you can manage two active boys, but it should be alright cos’ you’ll do it well.. And when Sara is older, bring her out for dates too. Juz the two of you.
3. Find time to TALK to the boys. They are growing up way too fast. Most importantly… bring yourself down to their level and really LISTEN to them. Listen to what they have to say. Respect their answers, don’t argue and quarrel to get your points across, do not treat them as babies.
4. REDUCE your telly time. If you really have to watch… do skip the sports channel. Go straight to channel 33 and 34. Know what they love to watch… Sean adores Ben 10, Shayne has not outgrown his Mickey Mouse Clubhouse ... the hotdog dance...and Sara loves Banana in pajamas…..
5. And REMEMBER… Baby poo is not that yucky. Well, it’s tolerable, at least. Do wash Sara if the helpers or myself are not available to do it at that moment.
6. READ to the kiddos. They love to be read too, even though Sean is able to read well now…. they still love to be read to. Yesterday, Shayne wants me to read to him. I’m tired after a hard day work….. I told him that I’ll read 5 books to him today. Try reading to Sara every night while I’m busy blogging and crafting.
7. PRAM Sara around the neighbourhood. She loves the doggies and kitties along the way. Also, she says “hello and bye” to flowers along the road side shrubs. It’s really interesting to find that she absorbs everything she sees along the way and imitates the birds singing, the kitty walking and doggies going round in circle before she sleeps. Have a walk with the boys once in a while around the neighbourhood too… stopped by the pet shop to say hello to the parrots.
8.Do not bring back your work stress. It’s unhealthy. However, you can bring the kiddos to appreciate your completed projects though. Be Patient with the kiddos.
9.Do not leave the kiddos to the helpers when you reached home. Be with them. Ask the boys about their day in school, about their friends….Coach them in their homework too. Shayne is doing fine with you in his Kumon.
10. Be the BEST daddy your wife could ever imagine, so that she will love you even more …. every time she sees you with the kiddos. Tell them that you love them and are very proud of them. So in years to come, the boys will model after you to be the best daddy to their own kiddos. And your girl will find a husband as great as you.
Happy's Father's Day and we love you.....
....very much.

Up high on daddy's shoulder.... Sara see the world from your perspective.
