This is a long rambling and don’t expect corporate mission statements. Raising my little kids across different geographies and of course good time off from work, let me think through the often mundane chores of surviving early parenthood.

Beyond those seemingly crazy conversations with a 2 year old trying to reason why she couldn’t run around in a place of worship or why swiping with fingers does not work on all things – there did seem to be something unique. Children have this great gift of being born with a clean slate.

There should be some reason in evolution or creationism (whatever you believe in) that we were hard wired to walk or see or further our species, but reasoning was something that we would acquire through our interactions.

Life would have definitely been easier with kids pre-programmed to be nice and sweet and all that – how boring!
