The Only Child

Have you met my shadow? Micah has been very concerned the past couple of weeks that people would think I only have one son. As we walk around grocery stores, go on picnics and play together, Micah has wondered out loud, "What if they think you only have one kid?" He told someone at the store the other day, "She has two other kids too."

Micah is soaking up the one-on-one time that has previously been lacking in his life. It's amazing to think that I once did only have one child and that this was normal to spend so much time together!! As we were on a blanket at the park last week, I looked at Micah and he was almost glowing, so happy to have my undivided attention. It is very sweet, and we're doing our best to enjoy it.

It's also fun to see Micah's excitement at his brothers' return home from school. Though he's got it pretty good during the day, he's also happy that he's not the only kid and loves hanging out with the brothers when they get home. He's got the best of both worlds right now!!

That's funny about him telling the lady at the grocery store about your other two kids. He's cute.

Isn't it fun? Where I still have the fresh memory of spending all that one on one time with Alex, I totally miss it sometimes. Wouldn't change anything at all for what I have now, but it is fun to get that special time. By the way... I am SOOOO sorry for missing you guys the other day. I was so concerned with Ryan's birthday that day, that I totally forgot you were coming! I can't believe I did that and I am truly, truly sorry!!!
