Last weekend, four year-old Nolan spent the night at our house so that his parents could go on a skiing trip. He is so SWEET about our baby. He often brings over a toy or book that he has out-grown and very gently and seriously says its "for the baby." He likes hanging out in the nursery, visiting with his old toys. This trip, he was asking a little more about when the baby would arrive. It will be funny to see how he interacts with the real baby, rather than just his idea of a baby.
Today the little one seems closer. Its a nice feeling, rare. Usually it feels to me like it will never happen, so abstract. Maybe it's the Valentine's day sweetness. I spent about an hour reading a bunch of the great books our family and friends have given us. All the great hardbacks, Caldecott winners, chunky and yummy board books. That Knuffle Bunny is really growing on me. Nolan really liked the Flower Man book.
We are #5.
