There are things in life that all kids just need to do at some point. I'm not talking about the big things, like going to Disney World or seeing the Grand Canyon, but rather those little, everyday moments that are just full of wonder, joy, and youth.

Some of them are so simple, we don't even note them when they happen for the first time, but years later, it's these things we look back on as the core of our childhood. Here are 25 things all kids should do while they're still kids, a bucket list if you will. See how many your kids have checked off as of now, and add any others you'd like to see on this list in the comments.

What would you add to this list?

It's spring! You know what that means? It's kite season! Hey, don't knock it; you do realize keeping a kite up in the air means your kid will run, and run, and RUN all that energy out, right?

OK, so now that I sold you on the best spring activity EVER, do you have a kite? No? Well then it's good thing I'm about to tell you how to make a kite with the kids, isn't it?

Three-year-old Annie Spohr's parents -- bloggers Heather and Mike who write The Spohrs Are Multiplying -- must be proud film geeks. Because their little girl knows the greatest movie lines of all time, according to American Film Institute. And not only does she know them, but she knows how to deliver them with as much or even more enthusiasm than the original actors who made 'em famous! No joke -- watching little Annie offer up her take on "There's no crying in baseball!" and "Heeeere's Johnny!" among others has already made my week.

Most of you are probably way, way too young to remember the TV show Square Pegs (featuring Sarah Jessica Parker in her pre-pre-pre-Carrie Bradshaw days), but that was the first thing I thought of when I saw this clever toddler's shape-sorting shortcut. See, the title of the show was, of course, based on the saying "You can't fit a square peg into a round hole" (Parker played a not-so-popular high school student) and the whole point was how square pegs shouldn't try to fit into round holes because there ARE square holes (work with me here) where they WILL fit in, but most people still spend their entire lives trying to squeeze into the wrong shape. 

Except I don't think this kid will turn out to be one of those people. Granted, her way of, um, "playing" this shape-sorting game isn't exactly the way it was intended to be played ...

Can I ever get enough of the videos with toddlers mispronouncing words to sound like they're cussing? No! I cannot! Here's a video of a little boy saying "dump truck" over and over again. Guess what it sounds like he's really saying? I'll give you a hint: It rhymes with "crumb luck." And thanks to the wonders of technology, this golden moment of innocent childhood has been preserved for all of us to enjoy.

So here you go. Because it's Friday and you could use a good laugh. And because this is not your child. But you've probably heard something similar come out of your own kid's mouth at some point -- accidentally, of course.

I admit, I feel a little defensive about my son's screen time. Letting your child play online, iPad, iPhone, and iDunnowhatelse electronic games and videos these days is up there with letting them eat sugar and food dyes. It's one of the great eeeeevillllls of parenting. I see parents handing their kids screens big and small all the time, and yet, we all claim to have "limits" and we always have a perfectly good excuse for allowing it just this once.

What if we just relaxed and stopped treating screen time like a poison we reluctantly dole out to our kids? What if there were evidence that it's not even as bad as we've been led to believe? What if screen time maybe, possibly, shockingly, teaches our kids something?

Talk about hand-eye coordination! Well, not that people do talk about hand-eye coordination very often, but the developing skill is something moms think about all the time, whether or not we realize it. It's just amazing to watch your child go from a helpless infant who can barely find his thumbs to a sturdy baby who can sit up and feed himself single Cheerios from a high chair tray to a 3-year-old softball-playing genius who's seemingly incapable of missing a single pitch ... wait, that's not usually how it goes.

The 3-year-old boy in this video, however, has better hand-eye coordination than some adults who are paid millions of dollars a year to do exactly what he's doing ... repeatedly.

Manah manah! Who loves Sesame Street videos? Little kids do -- and so do their parents. We can't help ourselves. They're brilliant! So it's no surprise that Sesame Street's YouTube channel recently reached a billion views. ONE BILLION! That's astonishing. This makes them the first nonprofit organization and the first U.S. children's company to reach one billion views.

To celebrate they brought out The Count -- of course -- to sing a special song counting all the "yous" in YouTube. He also wrote a special blog post about his favorite number, zero. Yes, zero. Oh Count, you are full of surprises. Ah-ah-ah! Guess who the most important "you" in YouTube is? You'll have to watch the video to see.
