" A first child lives in an adult world, but a second child lives in a child's world."

I have always felt a little guilt that no matter how hard I try - Cosette just won't have the same 100% of me that Paisley was able to enjoy for the first 20 months of her life. Now my time, energy, and stamina has to be shared between two little kiddos. Well, I was reading a book and came across across this passage that has put all my fretting aside. The author, Dr. Karp, talked about how even though your oldest child will have received more attention from you - what the second one doesn't get from you he will receive five times over from the older sibling. As he says "No one will make your baby laugh or learn as much as their superhero big brother or sister!" And it is so true - Paisley is a way more fun than boring ol' mom.
Besides mom would never teach you how to use an entire Jumbo-sized tube of diaper rash cream as body lotion...
