The newest addition to my extended family—a second son for my oldest brother—arrived late last summer in a flurry of unintended excitement because he was more than a bit early. But over the past nine months, Christian has caught up with himself.Last weekend, Christian became the center of attraction for a gathering of folks who are part of an RV club (recreational vehicles) that my sister and brother-in-law belong to. You would have thought that Elvis was back in Vegas for a new live show.
Every woman there cooed at least once, several held him, he got carriage rides from others and fed by one smiling face after another. You know how it is, a pair of sweet cheeks and you just wow all the girls.
Since I live further away, I've only had the chance to spend time with Christian once before. This time, I got to hold him while he slept, and remembered all over again that sweet peace that radiates from a child who trusts the world completely.
Thrill number eight, hardly cheap.
