It was our original plan, but having such a tricky first child made us really overwhelmed just thinking about it. Now that it's our reality, I think it's really helped to ground Finn, who loves to be the center of attention. He's learning to share the spotlight, to share, and it helps that he just really, really loves his sister. I grew up as an only child, so I'm very excited to watch the sibling relationship play out! M is (seemingly) such a great babe, I bet she'll be an awesome big sister, too!<br />NO, I don't feel like he really "got" it when L was born, but we had some books we read to him about becoming a big brother and now it's like he was never alone. Or at least, it seems that way sometimes. I sort of mourn the fact that he won't remember being our "only", but I think being one of a pair is just as great, or even better! <br />Sarahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16456884750755451250noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7643185903061294235.post-2772678620995984652014-04-12T15:06:20.906-07:002014-04-12T15:06:20.906-07:00Such cuties you have! How have you found the two-...Such cuties you have! How have you found the two-year age gap? I keep thinking about timing if I do indeed have another, and it's such a tricky thing to figure out. I'm sort of of the mindset that it's better to get the baby years out of the way ASAP (not that I'm not enjoying M's babyhood very, very much, but it's physically the most demanding), but doing that definitely presents challenges. Did you feel like Finn was able to understand what was happening when Lorelei was born? It sounds like they get along well now!Annahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03644501843801907359noreply@blogger.com
