User post: Letter to the second child


You had used baby gear, used clothes and used toys.

We took half as many pictures of you.

We never finished your baby book.

We didn't freak out when you bumped your head, didn't eat your dinner or weren't potty trained by your 3rd birthday.

We didn't track every milestone against child development books, buy every novelty to stimulate your imagination or have your pediatrician on speed dial.

But for all the things we didn't do, we offered so much more.

We had realistic expectations of you and ourselves.

We snuggled you in relaxed and experienced arms.

We enjoyed you with a calmness we had yet to learn with our first.

You may be second in line but never second in our hearts.
