We've occasionally joked that DD13 is "good enough for two children," as our tongue-in-cheek explanation for why she's an only (which is complicated and frankly nobody's business anyway)...

but the real reason is at least partly that she's just.... ENOUGH for two children. Enough intensity, enough curiosity, enough conversation, enough stubbornness, enough unrelated medical problems, etc. etc. She's just been an e-ticket ride from day one.

I sometimes feel like she's given us the parenting experiences that some of our friends with three or four haven't had. (Seriously.)
