makatakam Posted June 26, 2016 Report Share Posted June 26, 2016 I think it's ok. He's probably been just a little busy since. Congratulations to both of you. Be careful of the addictions to which you expose Luca, but make sure kiting is one of them. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RobB Posted June 29, 2016 Report Share Posted June 29, 2016 I like that last picture... breathe it in, enjoy the moment ! Who needs sleep, you can sleep when you're dead. Just as everyone told me, I'll tell you that they're right, it all goes so fast. Congratulations & the best to the 3 of ya ! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Barresi Posted June 29, 2016 Report Share Posted June 29, 2016 You know, we've all been sleeping really well... Not like six hours straight, but the (cluster) feedings are easy and relaxed because we co-sleep, minimal interruption to anyone's flow. That, and I worked hard to insluate these few months so that our being together isn't in competition with anything else in our lives... We're here, we eat, we sleep, we learn, we love. Yes, he's a Zen baby. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SparkieRob Posted June 29, 2016 Report Share Posted June 29, 2016 That second picture... Got me right in the heart. Did this with all 3 of mine, just soaking the love up. Sent from my iPhone using KiteLife mobile app 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Barresi Posted June 29, 2016 Report Share Posted June 29, 2016 That's the real unfortunate thing in today's material world, so many parents are divided from simply being *with* their children as much as they could be - I've worked hard to favor physical presence and relation over material gain - anyone can become a millionaire at any time, if they have strong character and truly present parents... We don't want much. 🙂 Not implying we'll short him on opportunity, or that others are wrong for what they feel they have to do (every life is different), just where our own priorities are. I've spent enough extended time on the ground in developing countries to know affluence has zero bearing on the growth and innate happiness of a child. 🙂 We named him Luca Taiyo with good reason, we trust his light and just want to fertilize his own recollection(s) of what he has come to do here... Not empty, full with a kind of amnesia. Luca = "bringer of light" Taiyo = Japanese for "sun" 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Barresi Posted June 29, 2016 Report Share Posted June 29, 2016 The other thing that irks me is cliches... "Life is going to change now..." Life is change (hopefully), and if you already live a simple life without going out a lot, watching tons of sports, etc, it's just more life - we've given up nothing with Luca coming into our home, it's actually motivated and purified both TK and I even further toward our own evolution, quality of action and communication. "Better catch up on sleep..." We're co-sleeping, and even with Luca feeding every 20-40 minutes for more than a day, we haven't lost any sleep... No six hour runs, but we're so relaxed that the awesome power naps in-between have us well rested. I get it, I really do... Some babies are tougher than ours, but I think there's also a lot to be said for how the household operates (and the individuals in it). Still, I can't help but feel a sense of projection of parroting what others have heard before, not evil, just self-perpetuating. That's just me - like I said, every life is different an that is what makes each of us (souls) a singuarity unto itself. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
