Do you apologize to your kids if you’re wrong?
Absolutely. Not only is it modeling good behavior, it’s important to admit when you are wrong and “sorry” is the way to do so. Just because they are littler than you doesn’t mean they don’t deserve your respect.
Do you have a class ring, Letterman’s jacket, or similar obscenely priced high school “must have”?
Sold my class ring at a gold buying fundraiser last year. I’m not particularly sentimental about stuff like that.
Real Man, on the other hand, still has his class ring AND his hockey varsity jacket. Thinking about wearing both this year and going as him for Halloween this year.
If you could be one age for the rest of your life, what age would you choose?
I don’t mind aging, but I think I might go back a few years…you know, before the mild aches and pains started.
However, I also want to be old enough to know better than to sweat the small stuff.
So, if I could still have all the babies I have, I don’t think I’d mind spending eternity at 33.
What is your favorite (unused) baby name?
Emma, for a girl and Jack, for a boy.
If you could make your child like something what would it be?
Exercise. Hands down. Exercise.
If I could wave a magic wand, I’d make all kids be head over heels in love with keeping those little bodies moving. My diabetes has me very concerned about my kids and exercise.
