Ten years ago today, Nicholas was born.
He was the child I swear I was pregnant with for 13 ½ months!
He did not want to come into this world anytime too soon.
It was the coldest of February nights.
The ground was so frozen solid,
That the 6ft Stork announcing his arrival could not be stuck into it.
It was instead, unceremoniously leaned up against the garage!
There were a few weeks there,
That we actually considered there was a baby mix-up at the hospital.
This kid could not be ours.
He had no personality,
And in particular no humor.
He was a gorgeous olive color…
And he was huge.
Whose child was this?!?
In retrospect…the kid was jaundice.
And in time, he actually started lightening up.
(Skin as well as humor!)
He was ours after all.
Today…as we continually split a gut over the things he says and does,
It’s hard to remember those days when he was socially challenged.
He, along with his sister Jordan, is the light of our lives, and the best thing of all…
He’s flippin hilarious!
I’m glad we didn’t bring him back for the switch,
Somebody somewhere, may have a real bore for a kid!
