As a kid I always knew that I wanted to be a dad when I grew up. I would often imagine what my own children would be like and made mental notes about things I would let my kids do or have, usually out of envy for not having the opportunities myself. Highlights include:

• Owning the gigantic LEGO pirate ship play set
• Playing Little League baseball
• Having a car in high school
• Learning how to play an instrument (and sticking to it)
• Going to film school
