I recently read this from Facebook:

The Top Ten Things Kids Really Want Their Parents To Do With Them (from classroom polls)

1. Come into my bedroom at night, tuck me in and sing me a song. Also tell me stories about when you were little.
3. Spend quality time just with me, not with my brothers and sisters around.
4. Give me nutritious food so I can grow up healthy.
5. At dinner talk about what we could do together on the weekend.
6. At night talk to me about about anything; love, school, family etc.
7. Let me play outside a lot.
8. Cuddle under a blanket and watch our favorite TV show together.
9. Discipline me. It makes me feel like you care.
10. Leave special messages in my desk or lunch bag.

Last night, while watching TV, I told Natalie and Tyler a story about when I was little and how I use to play boat with Uncle Way with our stuffed animals on my bed. Their faces lit up with excitement. After I was done, Tyler said, “Tell us more stories!”
