Ah where to start. Well, quick update, which isn’t really an update because everyone who reads my blog is also my friend on Facebook, but what the hell, gotta start somewhere, right?
Back to the not so update, update. Baby Bonk & other Bonk related activities may be adapting a new name soon, ‘Baby BonkS & other Bonk related activities’. Yes, we made another one. Elisabeth…sorry, EliZabeth (more on that later) Cathryn (not Catherine-again, more later) Bonk (at least I got that one right) joined our family on 10/17 at 11:17pm. We call her Ellie or Elle and honestly, she’s a good baby. I thought Connor was a good baby but now see that he was actually a huge pain in the ass. Maybe I was the pain in the ass and he was just taking after me, who knows, but really she is an easy, fun baby.
Connor is making all the right adjustments to big-brotherhood, you know, cramming toys in her face and calling it ‘sharing’, screaming at the top of his lungs when you are trying to talk to anyone other than him, giving her toys (usually HER toys)only for the shear joy of taking them back as quickly as possible. Yup, totally normal stuff. The good news is when she cries, he tries to comfort her, when she laughs he thinks its funny and laughs, too. So all in all, having two is kind of fun, in a madhouse sort of way.
I guess the funniest part of this whole experiment is that fact that Bill and I grew up as only children. Bill is an only child and I have a step sister who is much older than I am (my nieces are 18 & 15, to give you some idea of the age gap). As I watched Connor slowly implode on himself right after Ellie came home I realized that as prepared as we thought we were for handling 2 kids, neither of us factored in that we had no experience with siblings ourselves. Whoops. So I blog. Because I had no f*ing clue what I was doing when I had my first child and now I have now f*ing clue what to do with 2. This should be fun
