First time parents

One thing we've noticed lately is that we seem to get quite a few comments from people who recognize that Jonah is our first child. Usually it is an older couple making the comment, and one of the first times we heard it was at a baseball game when the comment was preceded with the statement "That little guy is getting plenty of attention..."

My first thought is that if Jonah were not our first child, we would probably have our other kids with us in these situations. It also makes me wonder if some parents really pay that much less attention to subsequent children. If we have more kids, I hope we give them the same kind of attention we show Jonah. Yes, I know it will be different with our time divided between kids, but hopefully quality time with multiple kids isn't impossible.



This is just an unrelated picture of our happy boy. :)

  1. Quality time with multiple kids is possible but it is DEFINITELY different. It's not that you pay less attention, it's that your attention must be divided.
