I did what many told me not to and I would like your wisdom, guys

To go along with having a consistent bedtime. Have a bedtime routine that includes reading or telling a story. If you read to your children they will value books and reading. You can also teach them your values through children stories. If you are imaginative or good at storytelling kids love being part of the stories you come up with. Also they will do anything not to lose storytime/tucktime with mom or dad.

Agreed on the consitent bedtime. Does wonders for the marriage if you apply it to yourselves as well.

I kid you not when I tell you all that I had a bedtime of 9pm up until high school, 9:30pm for my first three years of high school, and then 10pm my senior year.

We've gone with 8:30 PM since kindergarten. As they've gotten older it's bent a little here and there but by and large we still stick to it. But the boys and I are up at 5:20 AM so they almost put themselves to bed on their own knowing they need the sleep.

When the printing press was invented the people were afraid of kids spending all there time imaginatin' and daydreamin' and stuff. Similar to internet and Ipod today. Technology is teh devils. Don't read books to your kids.

I don't read to my kids.
I surf the net with them right before bedtime.
It's the fresh thing to do.
When they get older we will create apps together, and hack into things, and send out spam emails.
We are the cool parents on the block.

If used for nothing else, a big old dictionary makes a great booster seat in an emergency. Esp. since there aren't big old telephone books anymore.

Always keep your mouth closed when changing diapers; little boys have quite the fire hose and they're not afraid to use it.
And wet wipes are fantastic for plugging your nose so you don't die of the foul aroma from those nasty messes. How can anything that foul come from something that cute?

The hard part about this is that it's Hopper saying this, which means it's wrong. Sad, really, because it makes sense.
