Yet, I haven't written that post. And yet, when I look at her and her sister I still feel like it was yesterday that Lia was born, and I was totally clueless! Then we had Trisha and I had more clues, but mosty I leaned parenting from the kids :)
I still feel totally clueless. Well, my oldest is one year younger that yours, so maybe I will learn a lot in that one year time.
My one big regret with my kids is we didn't take them on trips often enough. So now that the oldest is 12, he doesn't have the habit of traveling and is therefore kind of scared of it and fights traveling when we want to. That was my fault for not going out with him sooner. I always thought it would be too much trouble so I thought to wait until he was older. I'm seeing the mistake of that approach now. Oh well. Trying to correct course now!
Nah! I think I am still clueless, but I certainly know a bit more than 13 year back :) Yes, never too late to start, especially Japan being one of the most beautiful countries in the world, your opportunities nearby is endless. I for example want to visit Sapporo soonish!
Recently I travelled across the continent with my older by road, one of the best thing I have done in a long time. This is her in the Canadian Rockies during that trip
