be a wonderful mother

I want to remember to get her a goldfish, take her to the beach, and give her at least one sibling. She’s only 8 weeks old tomorrow, so I’ll be listing fun things like these under this goal to help me remember all the things I want to do with and for her.

I know the hubby and I won’t hear the pitter patter of little feet any time soon (at least not for nine months…= P), but I so want to be a good mommy. Already I’m amazingly in love with these little people that I haven’t met and that don’t even exist yet. How crazy is that?

Anyway, there are little things from my childhood that I don’t want my kids to miss out on. Things that my mom made so much fun for my brother and me – like hopscotch, couch cushion forts, and mixing corn starch, water, and food coloring to make this goopy pile of fun. If I forget to do these things with my kids I will be a total failure = )

This is a long term-goal as well. I don’t have children, but can’t wait to start a family!! Once my fiance and I are totally prepared to become parents I will devote every fiber of my being to creating a healthy, happy environment for my children. I couldn’t let myself do anything less than completely support them in everything they want to do and stay as patient as possible.
