What a team

I know that I used to be really smart, now not so much. Thanks to drugs, 2 kids, and bad genes I have a severely screwed up brain where I can't remember all the things that I used to. Mike is really smart and doesn't have any problem remembering things like I do. He is a really quiet guy so most people don't really know how smart he is.

It seems like between the two of us we have some great knowledge. Usually if I don't know something he knows it, or visa versa. Even though retaining new information is really hard for me now I can still randomly pull just a few good things out of there.

I think that as parents we make a good team because we can teach our children so much. And I am so crazy that I research new things to teach my kids. Like I want them to know other languages so I am trying to teach myself how to sign and I will teach that to them. They are also learning a little bit of Spanish from TV shows and I am helping out the best I can with the words and what they mean in English.

I want my kids to know everything they can and to learn as much as possible while they are young and their brains are willing to absorb it all because everyone knows as you get older it becomes harder to retain information. So I think Mike and I have great potential at raising amazingly smart kids, which has already started to happen and I am thankful for all our knowledge together so we can teach it to our children.
