Shawnie and I have been friends since kindergarten, when we sat next to each other on the circle rug in Miss Larkin’s class and learned about the letter M. And each lost a balloon from our bear for talking about stuff that wasn’t related to the letter M. Some things never change.
We found out we were pregnant around the same time , she was due in January and I in February.
Then I went and had my baby in November, so instead of being a month older than Scarlette, Wyatt is almost three months younger. In this photo, Scarlette is nearly ten months old. Wyatt is almost seven months old.
She always looks like such a big girl to me, until the rare occasion that I see her around other babies. Because of her digestive issues, her actual size is about the same as a three month old. Which makes it very disconcerting for strangers when she says “hi” to them.
We greatly limit her contact with other children, even though our quarantine is a little more relaxed in the summer months, but I am so excited for her and Wyatt to be friends from birth. Friendship coming full circle.
