Another quick one…just cardstock and brads. Very much inspired by the incredible Cathy Z whose book is just AMAZING! <br><br>Journaling reads:<p>how do i get over the guilt? how do i convince a 2 year old boy that i love him more than ever, that the love i have to give him and his brother more than doubled when i gave birth. when i was pregnant, i attributed my guilt over introducing a new child into the family to hormones and the fact that two children would be a greater challenge than one. i assumed that once i got zack home and saw the boys interacting that all my fears would be put to rest and i would be able to fully enjoy motherhood and my sons’ bond. instead, i find myself constantly searching your face for signs of jealousy or anger, hurt and frustration, alienation or displacement. i wonder (and hope) if i am reading too much into your sullen expressions…you’ve always had a serious side to you. i know children are especially resilient to change and at times, you seem to be flourishing. your language skills have improved markedly since we brought zack home…is it because of the addition or would it have occurred naturally at this time as a result of your maturation? why do i question so much anyway? you obviously adore zack (a little too much at times!) with your kisses and reassuring pats. zack is the only one who gets a “bless you” from you when he sneezes. there are times when you are a bit rough but it never seems intentional- just the impulsive actions of a toddler. anyhow, as usual i am rambling. i am counting on my overactive imagination being the culprit that causes me to see the resentment in your face at times…the residual hormones still being flushed from my system. i do love you little man…more than ever before in fact - how could i not when you are such a great big brother at such a tender age? i can’t explain it to you now but someday you’ll read this and know. and once you know for sure, promise me you’ll never forget, ok?
