Mommy N Me

Since Wesley started kindergarten, Catelynn and I have been enjoying some uncharted one on one time. I spent most of the first 18 months of Wesley's life at home with him. I have been fortunate to be home intermittently with both of the kids since Cate was born, but it has been a rare occasion to have Wesley missing from the mix. Being introduced to Catelynn as an individual has been an enjoyable process.
Relaxing at the coffee shop early in the morning
Can you guess where we are shopping!?
Lunching with friends
Taking in a good book
In addition to necessary routine tasks, our days include vehicular conversation, independent playtime, meandering shopping trips and casual coffee breaks. The differences between my two offspring continue to appear [although, I think it is strange that parents seem surprised when two or more different people are so different, despite genetic similarities. :)]. Cate is content to read a book, sip juice at Starbucks, and suck her thumb quietly in the back seat of the car (which is expressly forbidden, but very peaceful). At two years of age, Wesley would hear nothing of any of these ideas. However, Cate will match Wesley pound for pound in sociability. She is great company in our daily adventures as girls about town.

You can't spend that much time together without something magical happening. I foresaw this happening! Fun, fun fun! --MOM
