...Zane would realize he can take more than 3 steps at a time and just start going!
...that potty training Karys didn't mean that she would have a way to keep from going to bed. "Mommy, I have to go potty!"
...I wouldn't have to deal with weight. Why can't those extra pounds just fall off??
...everyone would believe that Jesus is the Son of God and the ONLY way to get into heaven.
...people wouldn't cuss at their kids (and on that note, teach their kids to cuss and think it's funny)
...I could take all of the kids that are being mistreated and bring them home to my house.
...we didn't have to deal with politics. Hearing everyone bash each other just gets annoying.
...I had a minivan!! Can't believe it, but it's true!
About Me
- Janette
- I've been a wife for over seven years, a mommy of one for 2 and a half years, and a mommy of two as of 12/28/10! :) I married Ryan on July 26, 2003. We always said we wanted to have kids sometime around our fifth anniversary. The closer that time came, the more we started thinking we still needed another year. However, God held us to our original plan because Karys Elizabeth was born July 30, 2008...4 days after our 5th anniversary. :) I quit my job teaching kindergarten to take on the much more rewarding "career" of stay-at-home mom. There are some days that are hard, but I love it just the same. God surprised us again in May 2010 when we found out we were having baby #2. I went through the entire pregnancy expecting him to go past his January 9, 2011 due date since his sister was overdue. However, Zane Elliott surprised us by making his debut on December 28, 2010, and we wouldn't have it any other way! Now that we have "one of each" we could be "done" with our family, but hopefully that won't be the case. :)

Amen sista....
Amen! And on the cussing note I was listening to Kidd Kraddick the other morning and they were playing back a clip from when Emma Kelly was about 2 and kept saying everything was sh** and Jenna and J-Si kept talking about how funny that was! I can't stand when parents think kids cussing is hilarious - I HATE it! There's my soapbox :)
Great words--about all of it. I can relate to the "potty" problem. The novelty of it will soon wear off and she will sleep again. As for the things you wish, your Grandma would be so proud of what you said about people thinking kids cussing was cute. It is so true that if it is not going to be cute at 10, it shouldn't be treated as cute when they are 2. It's hard to undo something that has been acceptable at one time.
