Oh man, I love this.
Priceless and sooooo true!
Also…I must say it was pretty awesome to be the third child! Yay older siblings!
I’m like the third with my first. Good thing I’m only having one!! 🙂
The first one must kinda resent the third kid! “Back in my day, I didn’t get sugary stuff until I was two!” LOL
My ‘third kid’ turned twenty-two today. We had three daughters under the age of five at one point: the same year their dad needed his third hip replacement. You can imagine how she was allowed to fly under the radar.
Some very wonderful things happen when you aren’t really looking!
All the best Lynn, grace
love it! i’m not alone 🙂
