I usually get these flashes of smartness around 4:30 in the morning when I’m sick and sleeping lousy. Yesterday it was about where I could put a swing-set and a sandbox in the yard. This morning it was about the kids. I realized that Sophia’s the age Azura was when Max was born. I had been trying to remember what Azura was like at 4 1/2 last night and I guess it stuck in my brain, because when I woke up and tried to get back to sleep, I realized she was 4 1/2 when Max was born. So we had 3 kids 4 1/2 and younger. And Sophia’s that age, and we have no 3 year old and no newborn with that 4 1/2 year old. It’s weird. Every year past 2 1/2 has been strange and a new experience since both boys are 3 years apart from each other and Sophia’s three years younger than Max. So by 2 1/2 I was pregnant with the next one. Now she’s 4 1/2 and I honestly can’t imagine if we had three her age and younger. How the hell did we do it??LOL Of course we were 8 years younger so that might have been some of it.
Seriously though, it was such a neat/weird thing to realize this morning. Sophia would make an AMAZING older sister, and by this age Azura was times two. But it’s also really really REALLY nice to be able to just go and do with the four of them. Andrew and I were actually talking about the fact that within the next year or two or by the time Sophia’s the age Max is, the dynamic in the house will be 100% different than it is now and different from any other stage we’ve been through so far. By then we’ll have 2 teenagers, a preteen and a 7 year old. YIKES!!LOL Still, it’s experiencing something totally new because we’ve never had a 4 1/2 year old without a new baby in the house as well!LOL It’s all new for us!!
