Time alone with my daughter

Since Breyden is now in school once again every day all day....its just Syd and I running this joint....well mostly her running it.....I forgot how quiet it is to only have one kid in the house.....these past three months have been filled with lots of noise and battles....both big and small....mostly small ones all day long.....but it also has been filled with their laughter and chaos of running around the house like crazy people.....one things for certain it has not been quiet.....not like it is now

But now that he is gone and its just Syd and I....it's eerily quiet....she's not a loud kid to begin with....thank god or I might lose my mind having two loud/outspoken kids....the first few days of school you could tell she was sad and lonely that he was not here with her.....her playmate was gone....and so was the person she could annoy the hell out of.....cuz let's be honest the younger sibling is really good at pushing the older sibling's buttons all the damn time.....and she is a professional....I think her record for pissing him off is 10 minutes from getting up and out of bed.....but now she is left to her own devices.....which I think is good for her.....I want her to learn to be independent from her brother.....to be her own person.....to not always follow his lead.....but to take charge and make her own path in life.....

I am glad that I get some alone time with her....Breyden had his alone time prior to her being born....granted he probably doesn't remember any of it.....but it happened nonetheless.....so it is now Syd's turn to have mom all to herself.....this is our 3rd and last year of alone time.....as of next year I will be a mom of two kids in school full time....one in kindergarden and the other in 3rd grade.....for now I will savor the time I have with my last baby......since she still likes to be referred as that.....because I know all too well how quickly they grow in a blink of an eye!
