Not that this is my favorite, it's just that I'm at the age when I sometimes forget how old my children are.
They are all good, but I especially like 2 & 3.
Thanks for stopping by my blog, Barb.
I forget how old I am sometimes....my son is only 8, he keeps reminding me when I forget how old I am, isn't he sweet!
Happy Blogging!
It's wonderful that you have a free and easy relationship with your son.
These are great. I love my children even when they call for money!
I guess we have to take the good with the bad when we decide to become parents. Parenting doesn't ever end! It just gets more expensive :)
Thanks for visiting!
Fortunately, the expense does come to an end, and the parent can sit back and let the kids take them out to dinner.
But the parenting never ends.
