Special human...

I've always thought of myself as something special if I'm honest. I've always had a knack for being nice. I can make my eyes shake really fast. I can watch hours of tv and not get up, even if I need a wee. I can eat 5 donuts in a row and not even be sick. (Well actually I don't think I've ever tried but I'm sure I could. I know I could. I really like donuts...)

It turns out I'm nothing 

spectacular...haven't got bundles in the brain department, not that great with my hands, and seems I haven't got what it takes to be an Olympic javelinist. Javelin thrower. Javelinda. (Really don't even know what that word should be).

And if we're not the unique person we thought we would be, then we think our kids DEFINITELY will be. When our oldest was born we would often joke "he's so advanced for his age!" In fact he wasn't, and every other 8 month old was sitting up and smiling too. Big deal.

I'm pretty sure that my kids are special though. The oldest is going to be a rocket scientist, the second, a musician in a philharmonic orchestra, the third will be some kind of doctor (brain, heart...whatevs), and the fourth, the girly....well I haven't decided yet but she may well take over the family business and be technical like her father and know a lot about the PC mac computer interweb thing. 

The thing is (and here's where I get all emo on you, the soppy bit...get your buckets, you're going to want to hurl...), we ARE all unique and special and sometimes it blows me away. No-one has the same finger print as me. No-one shares my DNA. (I believe it's special, probably pink and sparkly.) No-one looks exactly like me, has the same annoying, nasally voice that I have, shares the same love that I have for bunting (ok, they probably do, but I REALLY love it). That's amazing, that God (and I believe in him completely) had the creativity to make billions of people exactly different and individual. No recycling of fingerprints here and there. I love that. I am fearfully and wonderfully made. And because of that, here's a picture of my eye. Take care, special human x
