Last night we had the pleasure of experiencing what it would be like to only have one child. Maybe not the pleasure but the experience. Yesterday was the first nice spring day we had and the boys played outside all afternoon after school; they rhode their scooters (Jackson fell and really scraped his knees), played in the sandbox, built things with the structures in the yard... they had a blast.
We talked to Auntie for a little while on the telephone and then there was silence, too much silence. So I went up stairs to see what was going on and I found Shane asleep in the hallway and Jackson in the bedroom playing. I tried to wake Shane up but had no luck, so the only thing I could do was get him onto his bed, it was 5:30. Shane went to sleep at 5:30 last night and it was just Mommy and Jackson for a while until Daddy came home at 6:30. When Daddy came home we made videos with Mommy's phone and we played and played and experienced what parenting one child must be like- it was very calm, very calm in deed!!!! Even going to bed was calm and not a hectic, crazy experience!
I'm sure those experiences will be very infrequent but they will stay embedded in my mind and if I can download the video to my computer I will upload it here to the blog. All my love Jackson and Shane!!!!
