Once Liam came into the world, Nialle was one proud Papa. He told EVERYONE at church all the finer details about my labour. If I had any dignity left after Liam was born, it was certainly gone after Nialle spoke with everybody!
Once Liam came into the world no one was safe from our bragging either! We thought we had the best kid and that no other child had ever done the things our child had done. Thankfully the "experienced" parents humoured us and listened politely to our stories about our amazing kid.
The other day Liam had a play date with a girl about his age. The other mother talked about her daughter the whole time - it was like Liam wasn't even in the room. (LOL, how could she?) At least I know now that we're not the only parents who are so centered around their child!
Of course, we're not the only ones who brag about Liam. I know a certain Grandmother (ahem, Grandmother Town to be exact) who loves to talk about her perfect grandbaby.
And the Great-Grandparents are just as guilty of bragging about their great-grandson!
We'll always be proud of Liam. Hopefully he'll be proud of us and who we are as parents. Having a child certainly opens your eyes to your weaknesses as an individual. But you just pray that your child ends up with all of your good traits and becomes a better person than you ever will be - right?
