When I was a baby and even now, I sleep ALOT! My mom called me her dream baby because I was sleeping 7-9 hours a night from a few weeks old all the way through toddlerhood! Now, I could probably sleep until Noon everyday, which isn't so good at my age... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-unique-traits-do-you-hope-pass-on-to-your-children#post-8304 Wed, 02 Nov 2011 15:40:39 +0000 winniebee 8304@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>DH's athleticism, patience, knack for music and fixing things, and nice Native American skin.</p> <p>My hair, eye color (they are blueberries!) outgoing personality, and compassion. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-unique-traits-do-you-hope-pass-on-to-your-children#post-8254 Wed, 02 Nov 2011 14:34:51 +0000 mrsjyw 8254@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>DH's athleticism, "strong teeth," his feet/toes (LOL I hate mine!), eyelashes (I want to put mascara on them, they're just so pretty!), his passion for adventure!</p> <p>My hair and tannable skin, love for reading and education, immune system, compassion/consideration for others. </p> <p>And both our non-picky palettes, our heights... I'm 5'7" (tall for a Korean female) and DH is 6'2." </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-unique-traits-do-you-hope-pass-on-to-your-children#post-8245 Wed, 02 Nov 2011 14:26:58 +0000 themcmom 8245@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My really bad sense of humor. Seriously, I laugh at some of the weirdest things, but it makes me happy. It'd be great if Wombat turns out to have his hair and my eyesight. Other than that, I don't really know. Maybe his desire to figure out how everything works. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-unique-traits-do-you-hope-pass-on-to-your-children#post-8231 Wed, 02 Nov 2011 14:17:06 +0000 PBandBaseball 8231@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My husband is super athletic and I am not at all, so I hope that our kids get that from him. I really love to read and I would love to pass that along. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-unique-traits-do-you-hope-pass-on-to-your-children#post-8069 Wed, 02 Nov 2011 10:30:45 +0000 Meridian 8069@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'd love for our kids to get MY nose... my husband's side of the family all have very predominant nostrils, HAHA. We both have strong jawlines and larger-than-average-for-an-Asian-person-eyes, which I would like to pass along. </p> <p>And I'd love for the kids to have my husband's very open and friendly personality. He can talk to and charm anyone!! I on the other hand am much more shy and reserved... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-unique-traits-do-you-hope-pass-on-to-your-children#post-8067 Wed, 02 Nov 2011 10:24:23 +0000 Jenna 8067@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Habesbabe, I DEFINITELY hope our kids get my open mindedness about food. I'll try anything once, and hope they will, too! Picky eaters annoy me a little bit and Hubs is one for sure : ) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-unique-traits-do-you-hope-pass-on-to-your-children#post-8060 Wed, 02 Nov 2011 10:02:29 +0000 HabesBabe 8060@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I think only Asians would get this, but I hope that our kids will get my husband's nice eyelashes and eyebrows. I have verrrrrrry faint ones and the hubs has face-hair galore. And his height (6'4") and athleticism.</p> <p>From me, I would want to pass on my artistic abilities (hubs has none) and being adventurous eaters (hubs is a HORRIBLY picky eater). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-unique-traits-do-you-hope-pass-on-to-your-children#post-8025 Wed, 02 Nov 2011 09:15:19 +0000 Adira 8025@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Navy Mommy - that tooth thing doesn't sound right to me. I chipped my tooth when I was young and when I was older, they were able to fix it by adding a piece of fake tooth to it. It was like this paste stuff that they glued to my tooth and then they filed it down to actually look correct. I'm not sure why you'd need to get a veneer to fix a chip.</p> <p>I'd love for our kids to get my husband's eyes (green), but I know they won't since I'm from an all brown-eyed family. Oh well.</p> <p>I hope my kids get my husband's plague-fighting teeth though. I build plaque like it's nobody's business, but my husband almost never does! He went to the dentist recently after not going for YEARS and the dentist was all "Look at these amazingly clean teeth!" I hate him... but hope my kids take after him in that department! Oooh, that and his metabolism. I hope they don't get mine... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-unique-traits-do-you-hope-pass-on-to-your-children#post-8020 Wed, 02 Nov 2011 09:10:29 +0000 Rock n Roll 8020@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I hope at least one of my kids ends up with red hair like my husband! Our daughter is strawberry blond right now, but I was when I was little, so I think her hair will darken up and be like mine. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-unique-traits-do-you-hope-pass-on-to-your-children#post-7958 Wed, 02 Nov 2011 07:47:24 +0000 hreichard 7958@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I really hope Jovani has my yellow green eyes, but it is starting to look like they are turning greenish honey brown already. Plus i hope he has my smile, my outgoing and upbeat personality and he already has my flintstone feet...haha </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-unique-traits-do-you-hope-pass-on-to-your-children#post-7955 Wed, 02 Nov 2011 06:36:57 +0000 tessabella76 7955@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My husbands blue eyes :) Both his parents have blue eyes and I have green eyes so I'm hoping our chances are pretty good! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-unique-traits-do-you-hope-pass-on-to-your-children#post-7938 Wed, 02 Nov 2011 00:30:57 +0000 Boogs 7938@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My eyes. :) From my husband, his tanned skin and his personality since he's a way nicer and easygoing person than I am. ;) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-unique-traits-do-you-hope-pass-on-to-your-children#post-7922 Tue, 01 Nov 2011 23:36:45 +0000 Navy_Mommy 7922@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Oh, and I wanted to add, I would love for our children to be artistic like my husband.</p> <p>I'm crafty (scrapbooking, sewing, knitting, etc.) but my husband is truly artistic. He's GREAT at drawing and music (mainly guitar). It's probably my favorite thing about him, and the thing I'm most jealous of, hahaha. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-unique-traits-do-you-hope-pass-on-to-your-children#post-7920 Tue, 01 Nov 2011 23:34:04 +0000 Navy_Mommy 7920@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Haha @Jenna - I've always kept my hair up with a hair band only wrapped around it once. I always thought that was normal until I got older and one of my friends commented on it ("How does your hair stay up like that!?!?!) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-unique-traits-do-you-hope-pass-on-to-your-children#post-7918 Tue, 01 Nov 2011 23:30:50 +0000 Jenna 7918@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Navy_Mommy, I'd love it if our kids had my husband's thick hair, too! I have a ton of hair, but it's really fine and gets so tangled easily. In fact, we went out to dinner tonight and saw a little girl with the prettiest hair. It was up in a ponytail and I'll bet the rubber band only wrapped around once! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-unique-traits-do-you-hope-pass-on-to-your-children#post-7917 Tue, 01 Nov 2011 23:27:49 +0000 Navy_Mommy 7917@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@MrBee - Strong teeth should not be under appreciated! Somehow I got a small chip in my front tooth and the only way to actually fix it is a flipping veneer. It's barely noticeable, but it still drives me bonkers!</p> <p>As for what I'd like to pass on, as much as it is a curse as well as a blessing, my super thick hair. Like, it's ungodly thick, always has been. When my hair is just beyond shoulder length it usually takes 8 oz of dye to color it (the normal head of hair would take 3 oz). It weighs a lot, and can get in the way, but it holds different styles REALLY well and I never have to worry about it thinning out too much. Plus when I was little I always liked when I would get my hair done and the stylist would be calling over the people she worked with to "check out the little girl's hair!" hahaha </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-unique-traits-do-you-hope-pass-on-to-your-children#post-7898 Tue, 01 Nov 2011 19:02:40 +0000 mrbee 7898@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Is it sad that the only thing I can think of is that I have strong teeth? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-unique-traits-do-you-hope-pass-on-to-your-children#post-7893 Tue, 01 Nov 2011 18:56:45 +0000 chopsuey 7893@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>WOW!! Tall family!<br /> I'd love for my children to be tall too. But I'm only 5'6" and hubs is 5'11" so keeping our fingers crossed! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-unique-traits-do-you-hope-pass-on-to-your-children#post-7879 Tue, 01 Nov 2011 18:32:53 +0000 Jenna 7879@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My husband is 6'10", his dad is 6'9" and his brother is 6'8". Though there are times when he dislikes his height (buying clothes is a huge PITA, and air travel isn't very fun for him either), I would love it if our children are tall like him. </p> <p>Do you have any traits that are somewhat unique to either yours or your SO's families that you hope to pass down your children? </p>
