The everyday life of a stay at home mom just trying to stay sane.

Well, I now know I must go forward with treatment, whatever that may be.
With the weather in the 50's-60's, we have been outside a LOT the last 2 days. Like, if we're not eating or sleeping, we are outside. 2 doors down there is a little girl 4 months old than Logan, and then a boy who will be 5 in July.
We we both in our back yard, and so Logan and I popped over to say hi to the mom and kids and Logan played on the swingset they have for about 20 minutes or so. He was following the little boy around like Crazy, and they both just LOVED it! When it was time to go, he was crushed!
THEN, yesterday, both children were out playing with thier scooters, and the boy rushed over to let Logan try his scooter. Logan was in awe of this little boy (who is only about 3 inches taller than logan despite the 2 1/2 year age difference.) And just LOVED the fact that he was riding his scooter. You could see in his eyes how proud he was of himself!
Anyway, when it was time for us to go back to our house, Logan's little chin quivered away, and he tried so hard not to cry. He said, "thank you.."?" (I won't say his name) "See you later" with big alligator tears falling down his eyes.
When the little boy had to go in for good, he ran over to Logan, despite his mom telling him to come home right away. He ran right up to Logan and said, "Don't be sad. You might get a scooter for YOUR birthday! I'll ask mommy if you can come over and play sometime" and Logan said, "O-kay" and then they HUGGED!
and the little boy ran back home.
I could have cried. For more than one reason. For ONE reason, seeing my little man with a FRIEND! Actually...a friend!!!!
Second. It made me realize that all the good points for having an only child really ARE good points. BUT, we are going to try really hard to get pregnant. For us to feel like our family is complete, for Logan to have a sibling, and a friend. I don't really want to always be taking him away from his friends w/o having anyone else to come home and play with etc.....and honestly, as happy as we are with one child, we'd be double happy with one more!
So girls...onward and upward!!!!!
Come ON april 5th!!!
We are on a mission!
