Last Time

Every year, the day Somerset Creamery opens, rain or shine, snow, sleet, or hail, we go to get an ice cream cone! The first year My Little Boy was a few weeks shy of his first birthday. He really should not have been eating ice cream but I figured a little would be ok...turned out I was right! He loved it, and a tradition was made. We have gone back every year...we look forward to it for weeks and  it's something that we do together, just the tow of us. We are getting ready to go today, and I'm realizing this is the last year it will  be just me and him. Next year his little sister will be with us. Of course I can't wait to meet my Baby Girl..to hold and love her. But,this is a bittersweet time for me, My Little boy is growing up, about to be a big brother and our lives will forever be different. He is going to need to share our attention and love. I worry that he will feel pushed aside. I worry that I will have a hard time dividing my attention between the two of them. I'm sure this is how even mom feels before she gives birth to another baby...But, I didn't anticipate feeling this way. I'm going to do my best to savor these last few months and give him every ounce of attention and love that I can. So, off  we go to enjoy our ice cream cones and hopefully make some happy memories together!!
