This weekend we had a little taste of what it use to be like having only one kid. Sunday afternoon the two older girls went up to the cabin with their Papa and Grandma for an over night trip. Leaving it to just my husband and I with the littlest till Monday evening. I admit I forgot what it felt like with just one child in the house. Boy was it quiet and honestly a little strange. Although the no screaming, fighting and whining was nice for a change.
At first Helen didn't quit know what to do with herself without her two big sissy's. After a short while she adjusted and must of thought, "hey this is pretty nice." Ha ha ha. She could play with whatever toy she wanted to and have nothing taken away or have to fight for it. And of course she ate up all the mommy and daddy one on one time.
We enjoyed our time by going on a long 2 mile walk. Once again it didn't feel normal using a single stroller. Monday morning we took Helen out for breakfast. Going out for breakfast is one of my favorite things to do. We ended our special time playing around the house.
Myself on the other hand didn't quit know what to do. Helen pretty much entertained herself. Is it crazy to say I was a tad bit bored? That's when I realized I am definitely a mother of three when I feel lost without the other two around. I kept thinking to myself it was strange that my life once was like this for 2.5 years when Evalyn was our only child.
I must say...I was ecstatic when my two older love bugs came home! My home was complete again.
