It is interesting being a new Mom of three. In some ways, I think this is really easy and in some ways it is REALLY hard. The girls are not infants and don't need me for every thing they do but this is the very thing I have the complaint about! They do not NEED ME for every thing they do! I really enjoy the alone time that I get with Misti. She isn't in school as long or as many days as Riley and Misrak. She still NEEDs me for a lot of things and it makes me reminisce about the early days with Riley. I think I am grieving that lost time with Misrak. I didn't get to bond with her in her early years and it makes it harder for me to bond with her now. I know, I know....it has only been a month! It just comes easier with Misti because she needs me.
Finding my way....

Don't get me wrong, Misrak is SWEET SWEET SWEET! She tells me a hundred times a day that she loves me AND she writes it on little slips of paper. The latest one says "mam and DaD anD riley and Misti I Love you Thanks so maTch I Love you" complete with hearts of course! And another one says "Mam. I Love you Thank you. Fou clothes and play and Book. MaM I Love you" ......how cute and sweet is that??? Her eyes are always watching me to see if I am pleased with her. She is always watching to see if there is a way she can be useful. She loves to help by sweeping or tidying up, opening doors for me or carrying my purse. I am so blessed!
I am praying today for ways that Misrak and I can bond and so I do not feel distant or estranged from her. I know she wants it badly, too.

I know you know this and it's just a sugestion, but try to make special times with Misrak just the two of you to do things she wants to do, so whe doesn't have to compete with Misti. I am sure she sees that Misti needs more of your help. Remember, she is the middle child now. You are doing a great job Mommy and yes, time will make this bonding more real to you. We'll keep praying for guidance for you! I love you!! Mom

The cuteness continues!!!
