Poor Cameron. His August 31st birthday was totally overshadowed this year by the birth of his baby brother. I know he didn't know any different, but he sure knew I wasn't around, and he wasn't too happy about that. Seriously, the kid ignored me for a solid three hours (turning his back to me, refusing hugs, going to Grammy for everything, etc.) my first day home from the hospital. Not a happy camper. Though pretty darn mature for only two, I thought. (Not to mention adorable...)
Since Callan's arrival, we've worked hard to eliminate any trace of middle-child syndrome. (Ever read The One in the Middle is the Green Kangaroo?? Funny stuff.) Anyway...I've tried to spend some special one-on-one time with my big boys every day. Not easy when you're sleep-deprived and terribly sick, but I've tried...
So here's a special post just for my incredible second son. He's my bug lover, my risk taker, my independent, mechanically-and-musically-minded, "I-do-it-my-own-self"-er... He hates having his hair cut or washed, and just yesterday, I discovered that he is absolutely terrified of crickets. Yep. Go figure.
