An Only Child



Layla did brave the trip to Grandma's house without incident and is having a great time....so I've heard through the grapevine. It is VERY strange having just one child at home. When our family went from 1 child to 2, I remember saying to Dave that a 2nd child is way more than double the work! It is wonderful, but there's no preparing for it. And, I think the first year of having 2 was easier than the 2nd year. Now, there is so much activity and noise in our house!

Of course, I've forgotten all of this until now, when I'm down to one again. PIECE OF CAKE! Cooper loves to "write", "make lists", and "draw" tractors. This morning, he sat quietly at the counter for 30 minutes working on this drawing of a tractor. Too cute! Although I really miss Layla, it is nice to give Cooper all of my mom attention and not feel so divided.
