A letter to my second baby,
To My Jimmy, I hope you know how much Daddy and I love you. I hope you know how much I cherish our “Jimmy/Mommy time.” It is seldom that you get to have Mommy and Daddy all to yourself, and the times you do are limited and few and far between. I love to have both of my babies with me, but I also know the importance of building a personal bond with both you and your brother individually. Last night daddy was at a meeting and your brother was playing happily in the family room so I gave you a bath alone. Most nights you and Jake bathe together, it is easier for Mommy and you guys have so much fun together. But Jimmy I loved to see your smile when you looked around to see that you had the whole bath to yourself. I loved how you soaked up the one-on-one attention from me. No big brother to squirt you repeatedly with the rubber football toy. No one to overpower you by taking the toy you wanted. It was just you and me for a bit buddy! You gave me you...
