Reasons to Have Children - V

Reason # 5 - To Pass on Your DNA


My husband found an old mold of my 12 year old pre-orthodontics teeth. He had my oldest son ( now 11 ) hold them up next to his mouth. Mmmm.. wonder whose teeth he has???

We've already started saving up for braces!

Reason # 4 : They help you discover the magic of the holidays.



Sometimes it takes having children to discover the wonderful treasures that surround us.

Yesterday we took our kids to view the Holiday Lights that our suburb sponsors. My camera battery ran out of juice and I only got a few shots. I think we'll come back tomorrow if the weather is still nice for walking around.

If I didn't have children, I probably wouldn't have taken the time for an evening stroll at the downtown park. If I took the same tour without my children, it wouldn't have been as delightful.

Reason # 3 - They make good blankets!

When my children were smaller, I loved to take naps with them.

Babies are warm & snuggly and little heat factories! Sadly, I understood why Michael Jackson affectionately called his son "Blanket".
