Right now I'm sitting in the living room listening to my youngest daughter Rachel aka "Sweetpea" doing a song and dance routine by herself in the kitchen. It is not a professional caliber performance, yet I am enjoying it immensely.

The trick is to peek quickly and not let her see me or the whole show will stop. She is singing into a spoon. And the song - while clearly an original creation - is stongly influenced by the finest Britney Spears / Lindsey Lohan / Hillary Duff traditions.

These spontaneous little performances are one of the best parts of being a father... along with things like hugs and clay pots from art class. And looking at your sleeping child's face. Why do they look so angelic when they're sleeping?

I never made alot of money in my life as a blue collar machinist. It took me along time to pay off the modest townhouse in a modest working class nieghborhood. There were times we could not afford a new car, and bought used ones for years. We took vacations within 200 miles of home because we could not afford to travel and save for putting our three kids through college.

But I look at my children today, and I look at my grandchildren, and I consider myself and my wife very rich!

That's so they can save up and torture you with sass and attitude when they're awake!

So you won't be able to kill them in their sleep for how they behaved during the day. During the day they can outrun and outlast you, but at night they're vulnerable. Defense mechanism. :D
 
I know what you mean about the sleeping face! When I was a wee lad, me poppa always said I was a good kid...........when I slept!


Now I know what he meant!
