So true. But of course the key word there is MAY. There are no guarantees. My wife and I raised two kids the exact same way, and they couldn't be more different. I'm calm and easy going, my wife gets angry eaisily. My daugter is easy going, and my son gets angry easily. Who knows what hand life will deal you....

The two of you are smart, sweet, and kind. I bet Theo will be the same.

I've stayed out of this thread for various reasons. But I thought I'd pop in and post this as a distillation of the many thoughts I have on the subject.

Success and failure are not defined by how many mistakes you made or didn't make, how many good or bad decisions you might have made, or how often you've been right or wrong. They are defined by how you handle the mistakes, the bad decisions, and being wrong. Success isn't perfection, success is treating every step as a new opportunity to get it right, no matter how many steps you've gotten wrong up to that point.
