When our neighbor was 8 months pregnant I found out I was pregnant. We always joke it was her crazy pregnancy hormones that rubbed off on me. After all my years of infertility to get pregnant and share the joy with a friend also about to embark on first time parenthood? Priceless.
Her daughter was born in September and my son in May. They travel for work so we have gone months without seeing them. I thought it would take a while for a bond to form between these two….but no. They LOVE each other. This summer, when the neighbors were gone, Bryce would walk up to their front door and knock for them. At one years old, he already missed his friend!
It has really been nice to share parenting stories with them and have our kids be able to “run out” the ENDLESS energy together.
Now that they are both mobile and running around, they keep us on our toes when they are together. Sharing and “mine mine” are all issues at the toddler age. But they hate to be apart. It is so cute to see
I can’t wait to see these two grow up together.
