Some days (more than I'm comfortable with) I'm the dad who says "no" to everything. I need to focus not only on letting my kids experience more of the world for themselves, even if that means cleaning up an extra mess or two, but also experiencing it with them and learning from them. All learning should be cooperative. Life experience should be no different.

Tenuous, but widening in front of me.

I'll try to post some things here that I've been thinking about. In the meantime, you can read what I've written over the last year or two at http://chewie93.livejournal.com. I'd love to hear anything you have to say about it.
