The first time parents that are excited about every small milestone their children take.  You can see them taking several photos of their child going down the slide, videotaping their time on a swing, and following them around at every step to make sure they do not get hurt.\nIn contrast, parents with more than one child typically bring a book and read while their kids run around recklessly on the playground equipment, and only occasionally look up to make sure their kids are still there.  Other parents with more than one child bring their dog off leash and a beer while their children run amuck on the playground equipment.\n<!--more-->\n\u201cThe miracle is gone,\u201d says father of two Liam Murphy.  \u201cWe did all that picture taking and monitoring the first time around, and now that we have a four and a two year, there is just no point in chronicling my two year olds life.  We have already basically seen the exact same thing.\u201d\nNikki Olds, who has an 18 month old and is due with their second in August, disagrees.  \u201cEach child is a miracle, and we expect to treat this second child as preciously as we did our first.\u201d  Murphy explains that it is not that he doesn\u2019t care about the second child, it is simply a repetitive issue as well as time issue.  \u201cI just don\u2019t want to take pictures of the exact same thing I already have.\u201d  The Stapletonion will agree that all families are different, but they all love their first child the most.  ]]>\t\t<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>\t\t\t\t<![CDATA[]]>\t\t<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_coblocks_attr":"","_coblocks_dimensions":"","_coblocks_responsive_height":"","_coblocks_accordion_ie_support":"","_genesis_hide_title":false,"_genesis_hide_breadcrumbs":false,"_genesis_hide_singular_image":false,"_genesis_hide_footer_widgets":false,"_genesis_custom_body_class":"","_genesis_custom_post_class":"","_genesis_layout":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[79],"tags":[],"class_list":{"0":"post-1687","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","6":"category-issue-23","7":"entry"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/stapletonion.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1687","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/stapletonion.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/stapletonion.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/stapletonion.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/stapletonion.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=1687"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/stapletonion.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1687\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/stapletonion.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=1687"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/stapletonion.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=1687"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/stapletonion.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=1687"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
