Children

Theodore and Mittie had two daughters and two sons. His eldest child was Anna, nicknamed "Bamie" as a child and "Bye," as an adult for being always on the go. His eldest son was Theodore, Jr. born at 28 East 20th Street in the modern-day Gramercy section of New York City on October 27, 1858. He also had a second son, Elliott (the father of future First Lady Eleanor Roosevelt) and a second daughter Corinne (grandmother to columnists Joseph and Stewart Alsop).

Famous quotes containing the word children:

    Good mothers know that their relationship with each of their children is like a movable feast, constantly changing and evolving.
    Sue Woodman (20th century)

    The children won’t leave without me; I won’t leave without the King; and the King will never leave.
    Elizabeth (b. 1900)

    To achieve the larger goal of teaching her children consideration of others, a mother can tolerate some frustration of her own wishes, she can delay having what she wants, she can be flexible enough to compromise. And this is exactly what her child must also learn: that it is possible to survive frustration, it is possible to wait for what he wants, it is possible to compromise without capitulating.
    Elaine Heffner (20th century)
