Ode to Nicholas

Our precious boy!! He brings so many smiles and so much joy to our lives. We often wonder how we got so lucky to have such a sweet, happy, obedient boy. Heavenly Father saved one of his choicest for our home. Although Nicholas was a tough nut to crack in the beginning, he has become the best little being we know. He's social (he never set up a fuss when we left him with others, in nursery, or at other peoples' homes), he's obedient (he puts things in the trash for us, stops doing naughty activities when asked, sits through sacrament every time), he's happy (he smiles a lot, has the cutest laugh, and is only cranky when he's hungry, tired, or sick - who wouldn't be?), and he's a great sleeper (he sleeps great at night and takes good naps). We are so blessed to have him in our family!! We're a little scared about having another kid as we're bound to get a more difficult child (who gets so lucky twice in a row? - although as long as he/she is healthy we can't complain). Nicholas has enriched our lives so much, and we love seeing him grow up. He's a special little boy, and we love him to pieces!!! Thanks Nicholas for being who you are!!

There's no Ode to Nicholas without there first being an Ode to Carrie. A tough nut to crack....let's just say I wasn't the one who had to do most of the cracking!

I guess you guys were just "lucky" although I don't believe in that word-- "lucky". Kind of like I don't believe in the word "coincidence" either. But anyway... you are doing a great job with a great kid.

I hear after you make it through #2, #3-7 are CAKE! :)

We have been pretty "lucky" as well. Jared is a little bit ornier than Nathan, but they're good boys. Owen is great too. You'll be fine. And I do think the transition from 1 to 2 is harder than 2 to 3. I wouldn't say it's "cake", but it's not bad. Anyway, good job Nicholas!
