I've seen lots of writing in the past few days about mothers wishes for their children - and I hope to someday make a comprehensive list both of things I wish for Lula and things I hope to teach her. But today, a more practical hope.
I hope that she gets a kind and patient college roomate who will roll her over from her stomach to her back in the middle of the night when she wakes up crying SINCE SHE MAY NEVER LEARN TO DO THIS FOR HERSELF. This roomate will also have to toss Celia back in bed with her several times a night and should always keep a few pacifiers within arms reach just in case.
On the bright side, this roomate will not be expected to change any diapers since I fully expect that other children will shame her into using the toilet at some point before she goes to college.
