Neenie:
I asked FI what kind of babies he wanted to have and he replied:
'You know, the little kind!'

Re: QOTD: For future 05 offspring, what character traits do you hope they would get from each of you?

from him:

his green eyes
his teeth
his height (he's 6'4)...we want to have a tall skinny girl so she can become and model and we can live off her $$
his patience (like a freakin saint i swear!)
and his overall 'rayness'
his compulsiveness to be organized and clean

from me:
my brains
my creativity
determination and will
my big mouth
my musical talent (he's tonedeaf!)
my ability to be right 99.99% of the time

Neenie:

Feel free to ditto....although it's rare for me to find another girl like me. Kinda funny. I thought I was one in a million (well, I guess there is 8.something million in the US).....OK, I suppose it was bound to happen sometime.

btw while we're on the subject...we want to have children that are ugly ducklings while growing up...you know the kind on the mathletes and the physics team and are really really dorky

that way they're not in the 'cool' crowd and go out and party and have sex but then will eventually mature into beautiful people that are not only smart but confident too!!!

we're so sick!!!

aren't those the people that go on Ricki Lake to get revenge against all the people that tortured them growing up?

I would totally want my kids to be HS losers too -- Like the QB/head cheerleader always seems to wind up as an insurance agent.

Love the QOTD,

From FI:
His metabolism (he eats everything and is still so skinny)
His patience, intelligence and generosity
His ability to make others laugh
His kindness and thoughtfulness

From me:
My hair
My eyes
My skin - I can happily report hardly any acne as a child and I so hope I can pass that on!

From both:
The ability to not stay angry or hold grudges
Our height - (I think its pretty much a given on that issue)
Our work ethics
Our values

* one charateristic I would wish for a child is to be a bit more outgoing than either one of us had been as a child. I still am a bit reserved until I get to know people and FI can be a bit at times too

Re: QOTD: For future 05 offspring, what character traits do you hope they would get from each of you?

From my FH:
his tall slim body, his laid back nature and sense of humor, his math skills, his nose, his sensitivity, his ability to make anyone like him, his intelligence, practical nature
From me:
my intelligence, my sense of humor, my blue eyes, my understanding of others different from myself, love of travel, and my creativity.

I actually want a middle school loser- they learn compassion and understanding at an early age...Middle of the road HS would be fine with me.

I keep thinking of new things- I definately want them to have my stomach. I never throw up and it actually scares me to death. I almost choked to death as a child so I can't even hear a gagging sound without crying.
He pukes like it is nothing. It freaks me out!
