		<description>Being a dad does rock!  I love seeing my kids experience things for the first time, and I encourage them to take measured risks.  My wife worries that I allow them to take too many risks, but to me, there is nothing like seeing the wheels turning in their head when overcoming a fear and just jumping right into something.

		<description>Even as a brand-new dad, I&#039;m hitting on a lot of these points already.  I get such a subtle thrill out of watching our little guy&#039;s mental wheels spin when he&#039;s really focused on some puzzling new toy or challenging activity.

		<description>Great post Derek!

My boys are young men now, and like everyone says - where did the time go.

Enjoy them young and even though we don&#039;t do it perfect, it&#039;s interesting to see how some things stick with them.

It&#039;s truely a joy to see them grow and come into their potential as adults.

		<description>Point number 9 is my fave at the moment, for me at home with a 3yr old especially, as you can imagine.

Those &lt;i&gt;eureka&lt;/i&gt; moments for such a young and innocent soul are really indescribable. Watching her expression when she gets a new concept, almost like a &quot;click&quot;..
