Christmas in July!

Our Little Gift

 

 

Just after the last yard sale we dicovered our family of three was growing into a family of four!

 

We are so thrilled by this little gift who is due to arrive March 21.

 

It has meant a whole new learning experience for Liam. First he learned the baby had a tail. He decided he was going to have a baby in his tummy too. And, his baby was a dinosaur with a long tail.

 

Next he learned the baby "swims" in there. So now he likes to tell everyone his brother is a swimmer.

He's just starting to understand the flips and kicks he feels. And, already asking the baby to "Wake up and play with me."

 

Now, we're learning the hard lesson of patience. Bed rest is required for the last trimester. Liam is starting to realize what it means to be a big brother. Mommy and Daddy are getting things ready and he is responsible for his own body and self. This means picking up after himself, cleaning himself up after meals, more independent eating and self entertainment. He's doing wonderfully, we see how much working on his goals at home and at CLC are helping him to mature.

 

Baby brother's presence in our lives is a gift already. We are learning to enjoy this time of we three and preparing ourselves for next adventure of the feirce foursome.
