I am playing catch up on my baby’s birthday. How is he two? Seriously, how did THAT happen? He was just an 8 pound, 8 ounce baby who looked so scrawny to us (K was 9 pounds, 13 ounces). Really, it was just yesterday. Or not. Sigh.
So, the baby days are officially over. I can no longer deny it. Thomas has turned 2 and Kevin has turned 6. It is amazing to think that I have a school boy and toddler verging on little boy. I don’t shed tears but yet there is a certain coming to terms that has to happen. I’m not one of those people who just melts at the sight of an infant but yet there is something, regardless of how finished you are with the phase, that you have to deal with emotionally.
Kevin’s OT is trying to raise money for intensive therapy for her daughter. I’m passing on much of our hand-me-downs and baby gear to her in preparation for a large garage sale she is having.If you would like to know more, please visit http://www.sendclaire.com/ to get the details. The nickel tour is that her daughter had a stroke around the time of birth and the therapy they want to pursue isn’t covered by insurance and will cost more than $30k in less than a year. It is cathartic having our baby stuff become useful again. It helps the transition.
We had a couple of friends over to celebrate with T. He had a good time with a friend’s little boy A. They played quite well together. Thomas is a big two year old and he towered over A, who turned 2 in October, but thankfully T didn’t intimidate him.
Happy, belated, birthday little man. I love you SO much and am so glad you came into our lives. I look forward to every day that I get to spend with you, just as I do with your big brother.
