Flash Forward Fun!

Today I'm linking up with Sarah over at Our Journey.  She thought of a super fun post to do about predicting what your kids will be like in the future.  This was a fun post to write and also a hard one since I only want to think of my kiddos as 3 & 1 forever, but here it goes :)

**Dear Brayden, 

I can’t believe I am even writing a post on what you will be like in the future because I honestly can’t see you past how you are today.  That being said, I know it’s inevitable that you will grow up (but why?!?!)  

Personalty = Right now you are a shy, sensitive little fellow and have been since the day you was born, it’s just who you are. Although, once you know someone you let out your wild & crazy side.  I think as you grow up you will always be a little on the reserved side, I imagine you being the kid who is too shy to raise his hand and be the first to answer or be the team leader in a sporting activity, I see you being somewhat of a follower rather than the leader, which I’m sure will cause you to get into a bit of trouble during those peer pressuring years!  You are already so thoughtful and I imagine that quality will stay with you (I hope!) so I see you being very romantic with girlfriends (Yikes, did I really just type that?!?!) I see you being a great friend and I see you being very athletic. I have a feeling you will really like school and excel in it.

Likes/dislikes in food, entertainment, books,
I predict your favorite foods will be pizza, pasta & ice cream, the 3 things you could live on right now! I picture you being really into science, therefore loving books that have to do with the Solar System or anything scientific with lots of pictures.  I think you will love going to sporting events and playing sports as well. 

Career or Area of Study

I picture you doing something again to do with science or maybe even animals. I don’t know why, but that is just what I imagine.  Maybe you’ll be a vet or work in lab, I definitely don’t see you sitting at a desk.  Just maybe you’ll fulfill Daddy’s and I dreams of becoming a professional baseball player,  anyone who has seen you hit and throw would agree with this!

Children

Oh gosh, it’s so crazy to even think this!  I think you will have 3 

Tattoo's? Piercings?

      I do not see you having either

Risk taker or go-with-the-flow type

I picture you being more of the go with the flow type, but you will have some edge to you!

6'1" and 180lbs

What I want for you

I want you to achieve happiness in your life.  I want you to find a passion and stick with it, go to and graduate college, get married to youroulmate and plant roots close to home and give me grandbabies (of course not for a loooooooooong time).  I want us to have an amazing relationship and I wish the same for you and Daddy. I want you to know you can come to us if you are ever in trouble or need guidance. I want you to live a long healthy life and be able to see your babies have babies.  I love more than you will ever know Brayden and I will enjoy watching you grow into a man, but for right now, I'm ok with the crazy 3 year old you are :)

**Dear Ella,

You just turned 1 and I am now predicting how you will be when  you're older, for some reason I think I will be pretty darn close at what I predict :)

Personality

I imagine you being the complete opposite from what I just described your big brother as.  At the young age of 1 you are already a little feisty one.  You is not super sensitive like her big bro, for example, you never had a problem sitting in the grass where her brother cried and threw his hands up whining when I sat him in grass, he wouldn’t even walk barefoot in the grass until he was 2…no joke.  You don’t mind the bath water going into your eyes and all over your face, while your brother STILL cries when this happens.  I love how you just looks at him like “what is the problem ya big baby?” Therefore, when I picture you grown up, I imagine you as a leader, the one who will cause mischief and do tons of plotting. (Oh lordy, I’m in trouble!)  I think you are going to have a take no BS attitude (kinda like her Mama!) I imagine you having lots of friends (hopefully!) and being a sweet & honest girl (again, hopefully!)

Likes/dislikes in food, entertainment, books

I think you will love all food, again just like your Mama J I think you will really like music and love attending concerts.  I too picture you loving to attend sporting events, I see you sitting right next to your Daddy rooting on the Chicago Bears (that will make him one proud Papa!) I think you are going to be into those romantic teeny bopper books, and probably those teeny bopper magazines (who remembers Tiger Beat?! JTT was my love!) ß-- Totally aging myself here!

Career or Area of Study

I see you studying business, I think you is going to be a quick witted girl who will be great in the business industry, being it Sales or running your own company.  I definitely see you as a take charge girl and also do not see you sitting behind a desk.

Children

I think you will have 2!

Tattoo's? Piercings?

      I do not see you having either

Risk taker or go-with-the-flow type

I picture you being the risk taker and giving your Dad and I a run for our money!

What I want for you

I want the same things for you as I do your brother. I want you to achieve true happiness in your life. I want you to go to the college, marry a great guy just like your father and plant your roots close to us. I truly hope we can have a great Mother/Daughter relationship and I will work so darn hard to make that happen.  I will try to give you room to breathe but it's going to be hard because I know I will be so worried about you especially during those peer pressuring teenage years.  I want you to have a close relationship with your Daddy and I want you to always come to us if you are in trouble or need guidance, that is what we are here for! I want you to live a long and healthy life and to see your babies have babies. I love you so much my little girl and I will also enjoy watching you grow up into a little lady, but right now I am good with a a crazy little 1 year old :)
