I think there are some definite pros and cons with being the second baby in a family. The biggest pro to me is that mom and dad have (hopefully) learned some things with the first baby and won't make the same mistakes with the second. A definite con, on the other hand, is that the second baby doesn't get the undivided attention that the first received in those early days. Fortunately for us, Olin is a good little sleeper and is typically in bed promptly at 7pm. Which means that Josh and I have from 7pm to about 10:30pm every night to give little Odette our full attention. I look forward to this time every day because it feels a bit like the calm following the storm of craziness that is life with an always going, but still wonderful, 2 year old.
One of the things that we have been doing during this special time is reading Odette stories before we go to bed. Our current rotation includes Brown Bear, Brown Bear, The Very Hungry Caterpillar, and Pat the Bunny. I had to share these photos of story time the other night because I think it is so cute how she looks like she really is listening to Josh...
And because I feel that I haven't posted enough photos of Olin lately, I thought I would share these that I took of him and Josh several days ago because in my opinion these two together are about as cute as it gets!
