Stingey

i am feeling a little stingey these days....

normally i can convince myself that this is not appropriate behavior...

  that when you have a little prince as cute as this, you must share

that i had so much fun with friends and family without my parents that i would never want to take that away from the little prince

that independence is important for little people

that alone time is important for mammas and daddies

but lately....

i am struggling

i just love being with my little friend all the time

when he's ornery

when he snuggles beside me to drink his milk and watch cartoons

when he's puking

when he's playing catch

when he's throwing food in the floor

when he gives a running narrative of his every move

when he is smiling at me from time out

when he is peeking at me from his carseat

when he is chasing and tackling his daddy

i just can't get enough....

i think it is because i know our lives are about to change, and probably hormones, too

i know a brother or sister will be a huge blessing, i can't imagine life without linde

i know avery will love being a big brother

but, i know it won't be the same 

only 2 weeks and 2 days with just the little prince and my prince...

so, i can't help myself from being a little stingey
