Why kids are great


Why 5 yr olds are great...
1. They ask some of the funniest and most random questions ever
2. You can have a conversation with them and they fully understand ( depending on the topic)
3. They remember everything. I can't remember anything so Alex is my go to person
4. Great hugs, kisses and I love yous!
5. They tell really good stories. Some might be really really long, but they are interesting
6. All they want to do is learn
7. They love to help clean....bonus points in my book
8. They sleep in.... good for any parent
9. They are fully potty trained... granted this usually happens between 2 and 3... but it is still a nice thing to have a kid that can just get up and go to the bathroom on their own
10. Even when you are mad at them they can say something or do something that makes you laugh every time you think about it.



Why 2 yr olds are great...
1. The still love to cuddle
2. They think they are so much older than they really are
3. They are at the cute point where they are not babies/toddlers anymore but they are not full blown kids ( kind of hard to explain)
4. They think tantrums will get them something when really all they do is make me laugh
5. They have very cute random sayings
6. They have adorable laughs
7. They are learning to be somewhat independent
8. They still want to listen and please for the most part ( although they have their moments)
9. They are very content if you just give them a train or a truck
10. They start sleeping in more :)



Why babies are great....
1. They smile every time you talk to them.... no matter what you say they are happy
2. The way they nuzzle their heads into you to sleep
3. They smell good
4. They think you are hilarious no matter what you are talking about
5. They do not talk back :)
6. When they hit a milestone it is all they want to do until they hit the next one
7. You get to fully watch their personalities develop right in front of you
8. They make good cuddle buddies while sleeping or just sitting around
9. They have really cute laughs
10. They are great travel companions... just put them in the car seat, grab a diaper bag and you are off


This might not apply to all kids but it defiantly applies to mine. Those are just a few reasons I think my kids are great. And of course the biggest reason is because they are MY kids.And everyone thinks their kids are the greatest,it just so happens that mine REALLY are. :)
