But, as nice as it was, there was still a noticable void for Joseph. The bike rides just weren't as fun, the games not as exciting and Mommy sure doesn't play swords quite like Samuel.

Siblings... One of God's Greatest Gifts
No matter how many children we end up having, I believe carving out frequent one-on-one times with each child is crucial to their development. So, while Samuel was gone doing his various activities last month, those times naturally lent themselves perfectly for Joseph and I to spend time alone together. I was able to really connect with Joseph, focus on him as an individual and do the things that he loves to do. It was a very special time for us both.
But, as nice as it was, there was still a noticable void for Joseph. The bike rides just weren't as fun, the games not as exciting and Mommy sure doesn't play swords quite like Samuel.
Conclusion: Mommies are great, but sometimes all a boy wants is a brother!
We have enjoyed so much watching our children's relationships with each other blossom into such deep friendships. We pray they will only grow deeper with time.
