You can never really envision the future. You have no clue what your kids will end up liking or doing.
But when I see Justin and his continued lack of interest in sports and other activities, I really wonder what his thing will be. The only thing I ever can see him doing is something with music. He loves music. Always has. He is very good with remembering lyrics and carrying a tune. It's quite impressive to me.
But I still can never picture what he will do with it. He's too young to really know if he'll play an instrument. He says he wants to play piano, but it's hard to say if he will.
Whenever I ask him if he wants to join something like Tae Kwan Do, he says no. He says he's waiting to be older so he can join chorus. Oh course, by then, he will probably be like most boys and think it's not cool to be in chorus. Or, he'll be the odd man out and join anyway and be the lone boy amoung all the girls. Hard to say what he will want to do.
Tonight was the first time I envisioned him doing something. We brought the kids to see The Melodies of Christmas. And that I could picture. Singing or playing. Either one. But I can see him doing that in high school. Heck, why not? Mick played in the band. I love glee club. It's in his blood. Now, I'm not saying he'd be good enough to want to or be able to be in the NYS Youth Orchastra, but I can totally picture him in his high school band or chorus.
But only the future will tell....
Oh, and what do I see Sarah doing? As of now, I see her playing soccer.

Winter Wonderland
My favorite Christmas song. Always has been.
When Sarah was a baby, I would sing it to her when she started to cry. She would instantly stop crying and just listen. It worked every time. I probably did this for a couple years.
Fast forward and Sarah is now 4 1/2. Her favorite Christmas song? You got it - Winter Wonderland. She LOVES it! That just warms my heart!
Tonight we brought the kids to Melodies of Christmas for the first time and it was great that they played it. So special. She was so happy when she recognized it.

Today's tidbits....
Currently the kids are in the basement and Sarah is having a baby. Yup. That's right. Justin told Sarah to "put Chrishie under your tushie and scream while you push her out of your tush." Not your everyday play, but that is today's game.
Earlier today Sarah was sad and wanted to write a story about princesses "but I don't know what happens after they get married." lol I told her that sometimes they have babies. So her princess had a baby. Then "then what happens?" My answer " well, maybe they bring the kids on vacation." So the princess went with her prince and her babies to Maine and Mystic. What a lovely story.
At school today Justin got to go on the Limo Lunch to McDonalds. He had a ton of fun telling me all about it. But, at the end I was informed that he prefers to never go again b/c he missed recess. lmao
Today at the end of music, Ms Vici said "Wow, I can tell Sarah is quite the soccer player." They were playing with balls and since there are only 4 kids in the class they really got to move around. She told me all about how Sarah spent the whole time doing her soccer moves and would stop and do fancy moves with the ball. That's my girl! She does love her soccer. And she is pretty good at it for a 4 yr old. Too bad she is still getting yelled at by Ms Anne at Gymnastics. It stinks, but Ms Anne is just mean to her b/c she can't get the moves.
Yesterday when I picked Sarah up from school, Ms Reena told me that Sarah was upset b/c she couldn't find her coat. Ends up she was looking for one of her pink coats, instead of the purple coat she had worn that day. Ms Reena asked if it was new. Well, yes, it is the heavy winter one and with the warm weather it was only the 3rd time she had worn it. Anyway....I asked Sarah about it last night. I told her that I need to show her which coat she's wearing when she goes to school so that doesn't happen again. She looked so sad. "Mommy, it was so sad. I kept looking at everyone's pink coats and I couldn't find mine." What can I say - the girl loves her pink! Just so happens I ordered her a coat off of ebay that is a beautiful pink winter coat. How it fits and makes her happy. Her purple one is way too small and won't be fitting much longer anway.
