Nya could not be more loved and it is heart warming to witness. I use to feel bad for the children following the first, because they simply just do not get the same kind of attention from us, the parents, as first borns do. It took me quite some time to realize that as much as that is true, they get something in exchange, something maybe even better. They get the love of everyone who has come before them. So for Nya my time is limited and divided between 5 children, but she has 6 people who love and adore her, who constantly ask to hold her, who will stop as they run by and give her a hug and a kiss or sing her a song. So although I am trying to spend as much time as I can with her, it is wonderful to see that she could never feel neglected as she has so many people who love her so completely.
Where Daddy Buy It?
The other day Tate was admiring his new sister as she slept in the carrier. He turned to me and said," Where daddy buy it?" I asked him, "You mean the carseat?" "No, where daddy but it?", he asked again. Still thinking he meant her carrier but since she has been sleeping in there more than she has been driving I thought that maybe he thought it was her bed. So I asked, "You mean her bed?" Again he answered , "No where daddy but it?" I really didn't clue in as we had watched my tummy grow and talked about her being inside me for a very long time. "You mean the baby?", I asked. "Yah, where daddy buy it?" he said. Darren is the one who does the grocery shopping in our house and I love him for it as I do not like doing it at all. Shopping yes, grocery shopping no. So naturally he assumed that daddy went to the store and bought our new baby, as she wasn't here one day and the next she was. You have to love the incredible innocence of kids and the funny things they say.
Nya's 1st Trip To Maple Bay
I haven't ventured far from home since having Nya. It has been very nice to just stay home and rest. But Sunday afternoon we headed for the beach, Jackson where were you? It was nice to get out of the house and get some fresh air. It was a beautiful day and everyone enjoyed themselves and even a few jellyfish were saved from being beached. Nya slept the whole time through missing her first trip to the beach all together.
