Trisha,
I too have an only child not from choice. We are in the process of
adoption but as my daughter is now 11, this new baby will not be much of a
playmate. My daughter also needs me to do everything with her. Some people
might label that behavior "dependent". Me, I don't believe in labels. My
daughter needs my companionship and I give it to her. This has led to the
most beautiful and pure relationship I have ever had and I feel blessed.
Don't worry about your son - enjoy him and paint with him and spend as much
time with him as possible! We all know they grow too fast... jackie
