What is is about the 1st kid that we are so mesmerized about?
Then when the next kid does it you are like okay now leave me alone I have more laundry.... or I'm posting on my blog.... Just Kidding
but really I see it from the parents around me too. They go on and on about Jonny (not a real kid by the way) and you never hear about little Meggie (also not a real kid) and parents of single kids never really stop this phase.... I admit it is taxing to me....
I know I am guilty of this too. Is it because the 1st is always into new stuff? 
Or do we stop noticing the stuff the rest do because we do not have the 1st time parent enthusiasm anymore?
No that is not always it because sometimes the 6th grade 1st born is still getting all sort of oohs and awes, and the 2nd grade and nursery age kiddo's aren't......
And I don't even think parent realize this....
Not that I complained as I was a 1st born and delighted to tell my family I was loved more because I was loved longest!
Anyways.
My mussings after midnight... I should really go to bed!!!!!

I think about this often and really try to make an effort of making my second feel just as special for all of his accomplishments. I am the oldest, too, and my siblings often resented me. I don't want that for my kids.
How crazy is this? I have heard of others with the same name but never actually met anyone. My name is pronounced like Marilyn but with a D. That's how I describe it to people. The even crazier part is that my nickname is D-lyn. Many of my friends and family call me D-lyn. I can't wait to read more on your blog.
