ā£- Send me a ⣠to have my muse talk about their children.
āWhere do I start? Teddyās one of the best things that ever happened to me. You know, I spent a very long time never thinking Iād ever have children... but a beautiful woman with a good deal of common sense is working on curing me of those issues.
āI remember the first time I held Teddy, I felt all the worries drop away. He was probably the most beautiful thing Iād ever seen. Iād been so scared heād turn out like me - I mean, with my condition - but once I saw him it didnāt matter any more, because he was my baby and Doraās and I loved him.ā *chuckles* āHe gave me a bit of a start when his hair turned red, though. He definitely takes more after his mother than me.
āI mean that in more ways than just being a Metamorphmagus, too. Iāve never known a child so clumsy. I donāt think thereās been a single week since he began crawling where he hasnāt bumped or hurt himself or fallen over somehow. Not that it ever stops him. Heās got a huge sense of adventure - he wasnāt satisfied till he could climb all the way to the top of the tree in his granās back garden, and heās forever trying to explore every corner whenever we go somewhere new.
āThat said, heās a very good student. He works hard, and Iāve had no complaints from his other teachers about his behaviour... at least, not since his first year when he got caught putting a Flobberworm down a girlās robes. I donāt know if that means heās actually behaving better or if heās just better at not getting caught, though. It wouldnāt surprise me either way. Neither of his parents were exactly angels at school. But he doesnāt cause trouble for the sake of it, which is all I could really ask for.
āHonestly, seeing him together with the rest of our family makes me so grateful for what I have - even if I still have a condition that will never go away, Iām learning more and more that it doesnāt have to bar me from the things I wanted. Teddyās the ultimate proof of that. I couldnāt be prouder of him or love him more.ā
