Large gap between kids for us….seven years.
Then two in two years. What was in the water in Oakville anyway?
I still call them “the babies” something I think they have gotten used to, as they are now eleven and thirteen.
When they were younger they constantly scolded me for using my term of endearment as they were “not babies anymore!”
Repetition may have worked?
Staffing issues have caused my wife and I to take separate vacations over the last year and she is Down South with “the babies” this week.
For me it’s like a quick flash forward to a time when the babies will be gone and our house, that once seemed just right in size, may feel large and a little empty.
Most couples talk about that day when the last child is gone in glowing terms. Freedom at last!
For me it was a little sad walking through the front door to a quiet house.
It was a little difficult to sleep well last night, even on a really comfy mattress.
Exquisite sleep will return in six days.
