Today was a real milestone for Evan, his umbilical cord fell off! This event seems so symbolic of his passage from newborn status into true babyhood. It also means that we can give him a real bath, but I'm not sure he's too excited about that.
This is our 3rd weekend since being home with Evan and things now seem a little more normal. It may take quite a while until we develop a sense of routine that feels comfortable, at least for me. The good news is that in the last week my relationship with Benjamin is back on track and even seems to have strengthened. I try to give him a hug and let him know how much I love him whenever I can. I think that Evan's birth has helped me to fully realize just how important and precious my moments with Benjamin are, especially as they now seem fewer and further between. Benjamin is doing his best to adjust and I know that he is aware of how much we love him. I am so proud of him, it is just ridiculous. He is the most amazing 2 year-old in the world!! I can't wait to see Evan evolve into his own little person just as his big brother has done!
Challenges for the day: go to the mall, give Evan a bath, clean our closet!
(wow, times sure have changed!)
