Flash Forward Fun

Remember when I wrote a letter to my 17 year old self? Well, I had the idea of doing a post on our children in the future and what they will be like and decided to co-host with Holly! Feel free to join us as one day this will definitely be a post to look back upon!

Dear Drew - Everyone knows that you are our light. As a 2.5 year old toddler, you definitely aren't a 'trying' baby and your demeanor and personality is one that I hope you keep forever. Your sweet, sensitive side can find a way to the core of our hearts and cheer up the dullest of moments and I hope you keep those traits to woo the ladies later in life. Your perfectly round face and your beautiful blue eyes can hold my attention forever and the sound of your giggle melts my heart. I know your innocence won't be around forever as the world will taint you in general, but the glass is half full baby. Mostly though, I hope we're still close and that you call me often and visit as much as you can when I'm old.

Just like every other parent, I only want the best for you in the future and will work my rear off to do what I can to get you there. Your daddy and I talk all the time about how everything we do revolves around you. Career choices, housing choices, schooling choices, etc,... but someday the world will be your oyster and you'll have to make decisions on your own. Just know turkey, that when that day comes, I will always be here for you. For now, though, mommy has a few guesses on what you'll be like in the future...

Food Preferences: I think you'll be just like your daddy. A bit picky, but someday a woman will come along and open his eyes to so many foods that he now loves. Ketchup will remain your best friend, however, for years to come. 

Studying/Profession: This is a completely crapshoot considering you are only 3, but I have two guesses. Your pure love for animals could lead you toward a veterinarian-ish profession. My other guess would be working with your hands on a macro level. Like building computers, or being a surgeon, or something similar. You've always like to work with tiny pieces as well as disassemble things. 

Children: My guess is that you have two as well, just like we plan to do. 

Sports: For your youth, we'll put you in everything you want to do. But for high school, I bet you'll be a baseball or tennis player (only cause your mommy and daddy were and I'm not allowing football!)

Settle Down: We hope you love being around us when we're older as much as we love being around you so my hope/wish would be that you don't stray too far! 

Tattoos/Piercings: None

Personality: I don't think you'll be a big risk taker both physically or socially as you never really have been. Your friends will jump off a table 3 feet off the ground, but your idea of fun is jumping off a 4 inch curb. And you've always been quite the shy one. I bet you'll be an introvert that everyone loves to be friends with, just like your daddy. 

Dogs or Cats?: Dogs, duh! 

Republican/Democrat: Only because you are your father's twin, I'll predict Republican here.

Grades: You might not be a national merit finalist like your aunt, but I bet you'll be a solid A/B+ student.

Height and Weight at 18: My prediction is that you'll be 6'1" and 170 pounds. 


Just remember, whatever you're like, I will support you no matter what. But if how you are now is any indication of the future, I would only guess you'll have one good life! ... oh, and you better still be a diehard Jayhawk fan.  

Love you!
-Mommy
