It's quiet!

My sister came and got Jacob this morning for a day filled with fun. So it's just me, my husband and Colty. Colt doesn't get much one on one time with us, so we took advantage of this time. Jacob had plenty of time with us before Colt came along, so we feel we need to try our best to give Colt that same attention.

It left me thinking....I thought it was tough back when it was just Jacob! Of course, I was pregnant at the time too, so that could have been why it felt that way. But now, when it's just Colt, I think "gosh, what the heck was I griping about?" Jacob was MUCH more laid back than Colt, so I really have no idea what the problem was. Chalk it up to first mom syndrome I guess. I have mastered my skills now, so I am much more laid back myself. It's so quiet when it's just Colt. Just the same as if we were to only have Jacob. They antagonize each other...they have to, they're brothers!! LOL!

It gives me a lot time to marvel in this little person I helped to make. I just get caught up in all the fuss having two boys run wild. So when one goes to Sugs, or off with Aunt Layla, it gives me time to sit and think about how much I have to be thankful for. Not that I don't know...but sometimes it's easy to get caught up in the busy ways of life.

Colty adores his one on one time with momma and daddy, as do we. Jacob had plenty of that time and now he is getting to where it wants to spend time with the aunts and uncles, which is fine with me! It gives me a chance to catch up on laundry and stuff! LOL! Of course, after about 2 hours... I miss him terribly..would I be a normal mom if I didn't?!

So as I sit here and watch my Colty play, and revel in the silence (somewhat, lol) I know that soon, Jacob will bounce through the door bringing about the run of the mill evening routines...and truth be told....I can't wait!
