Why I LOVE Being a Parent - Episode 3

Hey everyone, it has been over a months since my last post and as many of you know we just had our second child earlier this week. For those of you who don't know we had a little boy (BIG boy actually) He was 9 lbs 12 ounces and 21 inches long. We named him Griffin Randall Wood.

Now to get on with the episode. I am writing this while Griffin is completely zonked out on my chest so I will try to not have too many grammatical errors :)

Korver (our fist son, almost 3 years old) is a little skittish around kids so naturally we were a bit worried how he was going to handle the new little one. It took some time but after a few hours he finally got warmed up to the idea that he had a little brother. He would sorta think about touching his hands and petting his head but wouldn't really have much to do with Griffin. Several hours had gone by and it was time for bed and like every night Korver started getting upset knowing that he had to retire for the night. He was making rounds giving kisses to everyone and stopped by his mommy and in the softest voice I have ever heard he said: "Can I kiss Little Brother?" It was awesome, maybe all our worrying was for nothing. Korver went to bed and was out cold in less than 3 minutes (gotta be some sort of record).

It doesn't matter how stressful things can be and it doesn't matter how tired you are but the simplest little phrase can make everyone in the room completely happy to be a parent!!!!!!
