You would think that after 6.5 years of being a mom I would have this down, I don't. I still have absolutely no idea what I am doing. I will be the first to admit I am far from being the perfect mom, just ask my kids. Let me tell you about them.
First we have Critter, a loveable yet slightly emotional 6.5 year old girl. She is smart as a whip, and I will admit at times is quite a bit smarter than I am. She started talking at 6 months of age and was telling people to go away at 9 months old. She has given me no end of frustration and confusion over the years, but I love her to pieces.
Next is Monkey, a rather divaish 4.5 year old. She is a very demanding and at times rude young lady. She knows what she wants and she is going to stomp her feet until she gets it. She has to be in a dress and heels at all times, even while playing in the dirt.
Then came Alligator, the clown of the lot. She is a very imaginative 2.5 year old who loves her sisters dearly. She is always there to make you smile, I think that is her mission in life, I see her as a comedic actress one day. That is not to say she is without frustration, have you tried potty training a clown?!
Finally we come to Jellyfish, he was a surprise. Not sure what he is going to be like yet, seeing as he is only 3 months old. I do love that he only has eyes for his mommy.
I love these characters that call themselves my children. Without them I would have nothing to write about and would be utterly bored all day long. They keep me on my toes that is for sure.
