Tonight K spent the night with Memaw, while Q got all of mommy and daddy's attention. He was happy to be the only child once again. Q understands the joys of being the one and only, after spending four years as an only child. When K came along he was excited to be a big brother, but on the rare chance to get all the attention he is more than happy.
At dinner Q dominated the conversations, he cleaned the table with out any reminders, took his shower with a smile on his face, cuddled with mommy, ran around the house with daddy, wrestled with daddy, read to mommy, and entrained his captive audience all evening.
In the end, Q missed his little bubba and we had to FaceTime K. The two boys spend their time on the phone making faces at each other and giggling. I hope their relationships continues to grow as it is now.
Side note: Q, daddy, and I filled out our NCAA brackets tonight. We made a friendly wager that who ever wins gets to pick a place to eat one night. Here is hoping I have beginners luck, so we will be eating Chinese.
How nice that you were able to make special "only child" time. That is wonderful. It is so sweet that he missed his sibling. Enjoy these days...they will fly.
