Only Willie

I just read really interesting article on only children!  No judgement at all to folks that have more than one, but as Steve and I are hitting the age when most "peers" are adding more kiddos to the family, and Wm is at an age when it's clear that the age gap between sibs would be pretty big, we get asked a lot about why we only have one...and if we regret it.  The answer is a resounding NO!  For us, one is the perfect number!  It is emotionally, financially, and physically "doable" for us to have only one without feeling we are spread too thin in any area.  Mad props to parents that can handle more, but Steve and I knew where our own limits were and happily stayed within them! The article was an interesting read, especially because so many people automatically assume we'd "regret" having just one and that Wm will somehow be a selfish, lonely, horrible kid because he is an only.  (Wm also hates babies and is REAL firm about not ever, ever, ever, ever, never, ever wanting a brother or sister - or dog, even.  Wm is a lone wolf.)
