Parenting

I belive that being a parent is the hardest job of all time. I have 4x kids ranging from 16 to 3 and a 1/2 years-old. Some times there a good days and there are bad days. Parenting is a never ending job, and you learn something every single day.

My son Elias is the youngest, and he is my inspiration. I say that because he has overcome so many obstacles in his life. He had Torticollis, a physical delay, speech delay. And he worked hard to be a normal toddler, who can run, walk and play with his siblings.

Jaida and Jaiden will be 7 next month. This is the age when they grow into a different phase. They know what they want, and they are very vocal. I think its cool they play with Elias even though they think he is a "baby".  They think Nick Jr. is a "baby channel". No more Dora, or Yo Gabba Gabba for them. They are moving into Avatar, Batman, Big Time Rush. Its facinating to me, but at the same time they are growing up. The only little hands I have are from Elias. I can live with that---for now.

Anthony is my teenager. We have such a great friendship. I am only 16 years older than him-so we kind of grew up. He is one of my best friends. Even thought he endured a rough early child hood, hes such a put together young man.

The gap of ages withing my children is the the best. I get to learn with anthony what to do or not to do with the others and so on. If parenting were easy-everyone would be one. And just because you are one, does not ean your a good one.
