Since my first born was a preschooler we have moved into a new home. I had such a great time during his preschool years. Blues Clues was a daily ritual and the house was always covered with toys. It was never quiet because he was always singing little songs or talking to and with his toys.
Now my "baby" is 4. He is watching Blues Clues and playing similar games as big brother. Bigger house, more toys but same fun. He is talking to his cars right now and was singing B I N G O earlier. I love it! They are so much fun at this age!
For the last year I had been deliberating over whether or not I wanted a 3rd child. I know for a fact now that I do. The positives far outway the negatives. The selfish indulgences that I was thinking I would miss out on are things that I will have the rest of my life to partake of. The "sacrifices" are far fewer than the benefits.
So I am hoping that I will get to experience these wonderful feelings one more time. I am trying to get myself in top health prior to trying to get pregnant. My boys talk a lot about wanting a baby. What a wonderful thing it would be for the whole family.
Sure, I'll be at least 52 by the time this child graduates school but I know a lot of older parents who seem very young for their age. I think having kids around keeps you young as long as you still take care of yourself. Besides, I can't imagine my home without crayons and hotwheels and Blues Clues.
