Our first week as a family of four has gone pretty well, thanks to my two wonderful boys. Scott did half days at work all week, going in at 10 and coming home at 2 or 3. This worked out perfectly. He was home in the morning to help us all get ready and then home in the afternoon to give Mason some good one on one time. He has done so much to help me I don't know what I would do without him. Mason has been a champ through this whole transition. He loves Brynn very much and gets concerned when she's not in the same room. His emotions have definitely been heightened overall, but he has been very patient and has not gotten frustrated by the baby taking so much of my attention. I think a big reason for this is all the things Scott has been doing with him. We've made it a point to do something special and fun with Mason every day this week. It has been fun to watch the close bond that my two boys have. It has also been good for me to have a chance to bond with Brynn. It will be nice as Brynn gets a little older and not so dependent on me so Scott can spend more time with her and I can have more time with Mason. That is one very important goal we have as parents, to create frequent opportunities for one on one time with our children. Here are some pictures of all the boys' fun this week.
How fun for Scott and Mason to get to do all of those things! You guys are great parents. (And I LOVE the pictures of Mason mini golfing in his little hat...so cute!)
Rachel, I just noticed the comment you made on my blog about taking photos. I have picked up photography as a hobby, and I'm going to be in Utah the first couple weeks of August. I know you had some pics taken already, and Brynn won't be a newborn by then, but I would be happy to try to take some pictures for you while I'm there. I'm always looking for opportunities to practice. If not, hopefully we can at least stop by for a visit.
RAch- Brinn is a doll! Congrats! and you are made to have like 10 kids if your births are that nice! wow! Did she come early or right on time? What a cute little family! Congrats! Glad that the boys get to spend some time together!
