"I have a wish"

by Eric Smith

6th grade

-------------------

"I wish that earth had peace, peace for years un-numbered, so people had no war, and no battles about religion and race, so all mankind could trust each other!

I wish there didn't have to be laws for the people, because nobody would lie, cheat, and kill. I dream that earth will be perfect and we could go anywhere we wanted to go like to another country, without having to worry if you're going to be robbed, or ripped off.

I wish that people didn't have to worry about anything like: jobs, money, food, children, and homes to live in. I wish that everyone could be part of one nation, a free nation. A free nation that everyone were friends in, and where none had any enemies that they just plain hate.

If everyone could love each other that would make our world a perfect world."

What a sweetheart! Mama Smith, is this really your 12 year old son, Eric?

Kayla age 8, Eric age 11

Now, for comparison purposes, here is an answer to basically the same question from me, Dec 1998, which puts me at 10.5 years of age.

"A fairy grants you three wishes. What are they and why?"

"My first wish would be if my family would be nice to each other because so we could live happily.

My second wish would be if I was smart enough and got straight A's all the time and maybe a couple of B's because I would not have to worry about bad grades.

My last and final wish would be if the world was perfect because I mean I don't like the killing and robing and if no one took drugs the world would be a better place."

Hahahahahahaha.
If our kids stand a chance, it will be because of him.

We Remember... All the Time We... Spent Together

My 1-1 days are shortly coming to an end with my oldest who decided to have more time with me and her youngest sibling this past year & I'll forever be grateful for that. I'm never ready for them to grow up and give most their time & attention to everyone else. Again, we are excited for another phase & this time she gets to be the big kid coming back with more rest & confidence to wrap up her middle school years going part-time for 8th grade. Will busy work burn out still be a concern? Will "learning" in a noisy & crude environment still be a concern? Will losing more of her childhood still be a concern? Yes, yes and yes. However, she knows how to choose good friends, she knows how to work hard, and she knows she enjoys structure & peer competition coming from outside the home. I don't know if she'll push herself to participate more in sports, or find new opportunities elsewhere, but that's the blessings of this life - there are al...

Our Baby Story - Alexis

Alexis Jane Smith 04.27.13 - 5:16PM 8lbs 15oz - 22.5 inches brown hair, undetermined (blue) eyes NB clothes are too tight You hate diaper changes You love being swaddled You are a piranha for food Your skin is perfect You sleep better with noises You came out sucking on your fingers But luckily you're not a scratcher Basically, we think you're perfect. First day at home photo Dear Lexi, We couldn't handle holding you inside my stomach for another minute. We made an appointment when the contractions never came. Things were changing, but you were still 7 days late. Maybe we were eager parents, but now that we have you in our arms, we understand why, really understand. You're amazing . By the time we showed up at your 6 AM hospital appointment to be induced, I was already 3.5 cm dilated & 90% effaced & having mild contractions. So mild I thought I might have had high pain tolerance because I didn't feel th...

We're patiently waiting

Picture Mr Smith putting together the pack-n-play. He was so cute. Mostly when he had to read the directions. Do we have a child? Don't ask such silly questions. Hopefully it won't collect too much dust in 5.5 months. We're ready now . . . (but not really) It has a changing thing and a removable bassinet that vibrates. I'm okay with not needing a changing table. It will probably mean we won't get a crib for awhile too. Next we need to hear from our baby/exercise friends a good car seat & jogging stroller (maybe ones that work together)... Any favorites? Then a blanket . . . Then a breast pump . . . Then a diaper bag. . . Then lots of diapers, toys & cute clothes. And even a mobile. Then they get older and there's even more things. Mr Smith is just so thrilled. I'd love to hear about any products that you recommend/absolutely love having. Here is one thing you can do to annoy Mr Smith: go ...
