Cannot Believe that Ike is Three


We cannot believe that Ike is 3.  Time flies !!!  This morning as I sang Happy Birthday to him, I told him,"Ike, I remember the day you were born."  He wasn't interested but I couldn't help but remember waiting day and night and day for Ike to be born.  When Ike came home from the hospital, he was jaundiced and had to lay on a light table.  Molly had a rough post-partum, so  I slept in the bed next to him and held his little hand as he slept naked with those bright lights on him.  At three weeks old, we kept Ikey for a couple of days when Molly had to go back to the hospital with breast infection. Even though it was a hard time for Molly, it gave me a chance to develop a wonderful bond with Ike.  He is such a thinker, a talker, a mover, an inquirer, a hugger...so full of life and such a good boy.  We love you Ike !!  Happy Birthday !!
