Parents! Brag About Your Children

Can I brag about my adorable little nieces? ^^
Some parents think their child is the cleverest child on the planet, once they have witnessed them complete a relatively mundane task. These are the parents who brag.
Some parents think their child is a terror, and will be critical of them and have low expectations of them for the rest of their life. These are the parents who have a favourite child.
Some parents have their child's future career planned from the day they are born, and drive them towards it, accepting nothing less than 100% achievement. They will all become doctors.
Some parent's believe that all of their children should turn out the same way, and have the same views, beliefs, and aspirations to themselves. They will not make any real effort to understand their child, and will of course consider that the child's fault.

My children are all Trekkies.
The seven year old loves Star Wars and Stargate. He's a huge geek already and he's only seven.
The other one - is nearly 30. Doesn't like sci-fi. He's a starving artist living in Vegas - right now that is. He was over in New Zealand last year and prefers living in Southern California.
I can tell you cute stories about both of them also if you want to hear.

What to say??? She is an honor student in her first year of HS. She will watch Trek, but does not go out of her way to do it. She has a really nice singing voice and joined the glee club in school. She is active in dance class and church activities. I love her! She can also be a moody teenager, but overall, she is great.
My daughter is almost 3 but has the learning capacity and empathy of a 5 year old.
She also has an unbelievable memory. How many two year olds can remember the name of every child in her day care, AND the name of their parents??
I don't even know their names!

I have the most beautiful little girl in the world. But don't take my word for it...
She's also smart, funny, sassy, outgoing, headstrong, caring and kind to people and animals!
If you can't tell, I LOVE my little girl!
You should at least learn the names of your child's parents. That could be useful information some day.

She is so darn cute! I really love seeing pictures of her! She looks just like you too! I especially love that little chin of hers. She is just so darn cute!!!!!
My kids: Son 26: borderline, if not, a genius which has its problems to be sure. Born again Trekkie (i'm lovin' it!) and a gifted bassist.
Daughter: 17, athletic, beautiful and incredibly headstrong. These days she's my nemesis. Heh, i was talking to the school social worker/shrink about her and she (the shrink) said to me, "Mrs. M. I don't mean to be disrespectful, but ALL 17 year old girls are BITCHES!"
First time parents of little adorable girls beware: There could be a monster lurking inside that precious little child of yours. Be prepared!
My daughter is 13 and has always been wise beyond her years. She's a top student and very involved in extra curricular activities at her private academic school. She's musically gifted, headstrong, logical, humourous, and empathetic. She's also my only Trekkie child. She has typical teenage moodswings but they never last very long.
My older son is 12 and is quite a quirky individual. He's a year behind his sister at school and I've always had to remind teachers that my son is not my daughter, and that they're both good kids but very different. He's at the same school as his sister and he's bright, creative, kind, gentle, musically gifted, very fond of geography, and a bit naive. He's been moodier lately but I blame hormones for that!
My younger son is 10 and is undoubtedly the most challenging child. He has autism spectrum disorder and the world is often a confusing and scary place for him. He's brilliant at math and has excellent rhythm. For an autistic child he's quite imaginative and has a brilliant sense of humour. It takes a while for him to warm up to people but most adults who meet him fall for him (being small for his age and very cute helps). He gives the best cuddles. His early years were very hard for all of us but he's helped me become a stronger person. Advocacy and standing up to people, including complete strangers, is par for the course if you have a special needs child.

My goddaughter can count to five:
"One, two, four, five!"
young master trampledamage used to do that - he'd never say seven when he was counting. But if I was writing out the numbers as he counted, I'd have to remember to leave space because he'd always come back later and say "where's seven?"
I have two kids - the young master who's just turned four and the little miss who has just turned six. Both wonderful, both infuriating in completely different ways.

It's amazing how kids manage to do that, don't they? My 3 are completely different from each other, just like me and my brothers. My two older ones are just 12 1/2 months apart and they don't even look alike. I'd be out with them and I'd be asked if I was a childminder because they don't look as if they're related. It's also interesting, yet infuriating, how individual children change so quickly. It keeps us on our toes, doesn't it?
Oh yeah, they do that all right! - With both of them, I'll just be at the point of figuring out how to cope with how they're behaving and reacting, and they'll completely change!
Luckily my two do look like each other - and very like their dad. Not at all like me - that shows through in some of their personality "quirks"
It's fantastic at the moment because they will play together - if they're in a good enough mood, otherwise it's fight central
