I can do it better.

Boys,

I want you to know that I am consistently proud of you. When you succeed or when you fail, I remain proud. You must realize that both your mom and I are so much more in love with you than any thing that you could ever accomplish. Have confidence to try new things, knowing that failure is not the end of the world. Remember the movie, Meet the Robinsons, when the stated their motto as, "Keep moving forward."

With that said, I want you to always try to do your best. I want you to always remember that it can probably be done better, to try to improve every day. Walk in a pattern of satisfaction vs. dissatisfaction, meaning that you don't become overwhelmed and "frozen" by a lack of perfection, but you are constantly looking for ways to learn and grow.

Isaac,
The other night you were showing me how you could dribble the basketball. You did it, and immediately said, "Wait, I can do it better."

I love the fact that you wanted to show me your best.

I love you boys,

Dad
