Last week a friend asked me when we were going to have more kids. I looked at him and wanted to respond with....never. I told him I needed to have another baby when Parker was 8 months old. Right now I can not imagine having another baby. Then thought....I wonder what people think of me complaining about having my hands full when they have 3, 4, 0r more kids. I quickly responded with....we are not ready yet....good save. sigh:)
Someday's I want 5 kids...other days I want to give away the one I have....that does not happen often, but I think you know what I mean.
Today Parker is officially 2 1/2. Honestly, when my friend asked when we were going to have another one I thought, he is just a baby. But he is not. It is a spark of energy. He is ready to go from the time he wakes up to the time he goes to bed. He forgets that he is only 2 1/2 and thinks he can do anything. He is wonderful.
Ben and I were talking the other night and tried to think of our lives without him. We can't. He is our life. He is what we wake up for, go to work for, strive to be better parents for. I can not believe that he is 2 1/2. It seems like just yesterday I held him in my arms. I can't do that now. I have to hold my friends son to get my fix. But that is OK!! I love him just the way he is.
I am excited to celebrate all of the upcoming holidays with him. Halloween was great, but Thanksgiving and Christmas will be precious. He already told me that I can just buy him Christmas presents because he doesn't want to sit on Santa's lap.....We have a while to convince him.

Two is still a baby! I still look at Mason and think he's just a baby...and he keeps telling me that it's not too long until he is as tall as me. And it's hard no matter how many you have because your heart is so attached to your kids no matter 1...or 4!
This is such a sweet post. You guys are wonderful parents.
