Angel or Monster
I have started thinking about what type of personalities my baby will have. Will it be a little monster or a little angel? We all know that perfect child that is so sweet they could melt ice with their sweet smile. On the flip side we all know that little child that is such a horrid little monster it makes you question ever having children.
Jake has such a different personality from me. He is a good country boy, non- wavering, technical thinker. I on the other hand am wemsical, emotionally driven, and a creative thinker. So what traits will our child pull from us?
Having taught school last year, I have come across many different types of children.
I had this little four year old boy in my class that would pat me on the butt and tell me how much he liked my big booty. He was a hand full; he used to tell me a light saber could cut off my head in 3 seconds. Also, in cirlce time he pointed out that my boobs were bigger than my assistant teacher's boobs (and he was right about that).
This same boy used to get so mad he would slam his head against the wall as hard as he could. No, he did not emotional problems. He was just a very smart, manipulative little boy.
He was the perfect birth control for an entire year. I loved the kid but he seriously made me reconsider having children. No matter how bad he got, he could always weasel his way back onto my good side. Lol
On the flip side, I had the sweetest little boy ever in my summer class. He would sit in my lap and suck his thumb and tell how much he loved me. He would catch Rolly Polly bugs as presents for me. He used every word I used like "fabulous" and "are you being sassy?" (I loved using the word sassy in class)
He would pet my hair and say "When I get older, I will marry you. You can live at my house with me and my mommy!"
He told me I could sleep on his top bunk because he was not allowed to because he fell off once. He would bring me pages he colored and rings he found at garage sales. He cried when he had to leave my class and it nearly broke my heart to watch him walk out of my life on the last day of school.It was those children that showed me that kids are wonderful, creative, imaginative and beautifully honest.
