To Remember

I have a bad memory. Notoriously. When I call to schedule doctor appointments for the kids they always ask me for birthdays - month, date, AND year. How dare they. Inevitably I always get a chuckle when I pause. One time I had to shamefully ask them to just look it up by name.

Here are some things I want to remember.

1. Sibling love - Both Emerson and Landon loved Abby immediately and they continue to. Never have they been jealous or possessive of my time. Always understanding when I need to nurse, change her, hold her. Also, Landon's kisses. The sheer volume alone is astonishing. Clearly touch is his love language and I will die a slow death when he's like that with a girlfriend.

2. Friends and Family - Being home has created a tidal wave of attention for this girl. Thankful for each and every person who loves on her.

3. Attributes - Everyone always says she's much smaller in person than it seems in pictures. But also, so chubby! While her personality is till TBD, so far there are a lot off remarks about how quiet she is, and calm. She's not overly expressive but if you quietly talk with her she'll talk back. She goes with the flow as all third children must but I get the sense she'd do the same if she was the first child too.
