My youngest turned 2 last week. I officially no longer have a baby in the house.
I wanted to mark the occasion on here in some way, but I couldn't decide how to do it. Did I tell his birth story? As a planned C-section, that was a rather short and drama free story. Do I lament the putting away of the crib and putting him in a big boy bed? Well, I kind of did that on Facebook and decided I didn't want to dwell on it, lest it make me sadder.
No, I finally decided that I wanted to celebrate all of the new things that are coming for him. He is different from Elwood, so even though we will have the same milestones, he will meet them in his own way, in his own time.
I look forward to the future for both he and Elwood. I am excited to see the people they will become as they grow and change. But, don't be surprised if you catch a sad glint behind my eyes when I remember the babies they once were and how it felt to be the center of their world.
