Steve Irwin was a huge inspiration (and great source of entertainment) for our entire family. We were deeply saddened to hear of his death on September 4th. We never met the guy, he didn't know we existed, but the world is a bit darker for his passing. I felt that through the screen, we got to see what Steve Irwin was all about...it wasn't the animals, it was his passion for LIFE, his zeal for what he loved that made him so incredible.
I grabbed this
Steve Irwin quote that
LeaAnn put up at her blog:
~"And so I've been asked about philosophies of fatherhood and how to be a good parent and all that, and to tell you the truth, mate, all I do is just treat her exactly how I would want to be treated. She wants to have chocolate, Mum's not looking - "Here, have the whole block." And you know what? It works out. She's not a chubby, little, fat chocolate freak kid." -Steve Irwin~
Yep, seems he had the heart of an unschooler.
