Friday night we treated Emma to a "big girl" movie night. We gave her and Julia their bath together but then we told Emma that since she was the big sister we were going to allow her to stay up late and watch Frosty with Mommy and Daddy. Well our little 2 1/2 year old LOVED this. She was so well behaved and snuggled in with both of us on the couch and watched Frosty as content as any toddler should be with the magic of Christmas just ahead.
It was one of those moments where you feel good, good that there are times where you can give each of your children special moments. Before Julia was born and then during first few weeks as a mother of 2, I struggled with the notion that I would no longer have an only child. But Rob and I have found that it is possible to make each child feel special. Our first Big Girl movie night was a big success and that night we both tucked Emma into bed and she loved every second of it.

This was so sweet Mary. I can't wait to be a regular part of Emma and Julia's life. It is going to be so precious to see them grow up. I'm back baby!!
