Once we hit about 4, I was good to go. Younger than that was kind of not my season. I am really enjoying my boys as teens. I know people tell horror stories about those years, but I enjoy spending time with them. Of course, my oldest will be leaving his teens this year. I’m not sure how that is even possible!

We adopted two teenagers in the last two years and are now looking for a preteen to adopt. We love the older kids, with their own personalities and ideas about the world. They are like regular people that just need some help in the right direction. People at church ask me to hold their baby and watch them, and I think they’re cute and all but no thanks, only for a few minutes and then I’ll give them back 😀

I am in a few different seasons as I have a preschooler and a preteen and 2 inbetween (the rhyme was unintentional ;)). I love watching as my kiddos grow older and gain more independence, maturity, and responsibility. My oldest is almost a teenager and I think I’m not going to like that phase so much.

My mom always said the older we got, the more she liked us. ? I have a feeling I’m going to be the same way. When they asked me to work nursery at church, I about had a panic attack. I love MY baby, but trying to wrangle more of them? As my mom would say, “it’s my version of penance!”

I’m not a baby person. I never wanted kids (I wouldn’t trade my son for anything now, he gives me a good purpose for my life) so the coddling is a challenge for me. I’m so so very happy to know that I’m not alone. That there is a really great mom role model I have who doesn’t love the baby stage either!!

Mostly because I think God has a sense of humor! I am a total baby/toddler/preschool lover. I loved teaching those ages, AND could seriously have a baby on my hip 24-7 without a problem. But my kids came home at eight years old. Yep, both of them. I started parenting from third grade with both of the munchkins and I admit, I do miss the lost-years. But I am also learning to embrace the today. And today God saw it fit to give me these half-grown tigers who still need the nurturing that this baby-loving mama knows how to give. God can be trusted. That’s the ultimate truth.

Enjoy your season, friend!

When I taught I didn’t do below 2nd grade, but really liked 3rd and up.

We’ll see how it goes. I taught every grade PreK-6, but preK-2 were my favorite. Third and fourth weren’t bad, but I’m not sure what I’m going to do with mouthy 5th/6th graders or beyond! HA!
