importance of siblings
So after having Elijah for 16 months and 1 day I am finally understanding the importance of him having a sibling. He has had such an amazing time being around Kali and Will. It made me (and him) so sad when they had to head back to Denver. While they were playing together Daniel turns to me and says, “I totally get now why siblings are so important.” It is one thing to have them but it is another to see your son interacting with his family members. I’m not saying we are going to be rushing to have another, it just really makes us think. I know now that I definitely don’t want Elijah to grow up an only child.
In other news, I’ve been in contact with Pam Anderson (heehee, not that one) to register Elijah for Northland Co-Op. CRAZY!! I can’t believe I’m already getting him into a “preschool” program. Time is flying by. My boy is growing up so fast. He won’t start till after he turns 2 but you have to get them register cause they have limited spaces. Northland Co-Op is such a great program and we have so many friends that have their kids involved there. When I get back I’m going to go in and take a tour and talk more with Pam about their program. I’m excited for him to start it.

I love this, and I couldn’t agree more. Look what Elijah has to look forward to!

Siblings, yes, but a carefully cultivated relationship is key. Just as we parent on purpose, we must also nurture those precious sibling relationships!

This is a hard one for me because I absolutely love having my sister and two brothers now and we are all very close but I just can’t imagine having that many kids of my own. I’ve always thought two was a good number for us but sometimes I think I would love my kids to have what I have with my siblings. I guess when the time comes we’ll know what’s right for us (hopefully).
I’m looking forward to Ariza Monster – The Sequel!
