For three years, it was just me and Bashful.
The one thing I wanted most my whole life was put into my arms on March 9, 1997. The minute he was born his sweet and easy-going personality shown through.
His eyes were wide open and we stared at each other for the longest time. Doc had video-taped us together and you can see how much in love I was. On the tape, Doc asked how I felt. I had labored 16 hours and pushed for one hour, but all of that was already a blur in my mind as I said, "I feel wonderful."
When Bashful hit two-years-old, he couldn't take naps anymore. I say "couldn't" because the poor kid just layed there forever and just could not sleep. It was hard for me since I was pregnant with Grumpy at the time.
When I became too tired to sit up anymore, I would announce to Bashful that it was time for a nap. We would both troop up the stairs and get in bed together. I would turn over and Bashful would proceed to toss and turn. I remember begging him to go to sleep, but it just didn't seem possible.
So, after laying in bed for a while, we both would get up and go downstairs to indulge in some mint chocolate chip ice cream since I was craving it always. It became our tradition together.
We have proceeded to give him four brothers and time has gone by. His birthday was on Sunday and he is 11 years old now. Happy birthday, my sweet Bashful.
