My boy is nearly three years old. How is that possible?? The months fly by with Owen. He keeps our days very full; he’s a busy boy. I simultaneously love writing about Owen and hate it because there’s just too much to say about him. So let’s not waste time with a lengthy intro. Without… Continue Reading
I’ve always suspected it. And now my suspicions have been confirmed. Second Child Syndrome is real. I fully realized the extent of Second Child Syndrome (SCS) a couple weeks ago, when I was forced to sit my baby on a public restroom floor so I could help her older brother on the potty.
