We have been preparing my six year old for her forthcoming sibling, and so far she is quite excited and has her own plans as to how she will contribute in welcoming the new-born. She has kept away few of her toys, books, clothes and assorted things for the baby, which she wishes to share. And at times, she tells me that she is going to take care of the baby so that I need to only look after her.
Her baby world is full of contradictions. She has a friend, who’s just had a little sister and he probably shared his problems with her, which has made her a wee bit doubtful and insecure. She came to me one day and asked if I’ll have time for her once the baby arrived? I wondered why she felt that way suddenly and then she told me that her friend’s mom was always busy with the baby and had no time for him. I hugged her and reassured her that I’ll always have time for her and we’ll take care of the baby together.
Well! This is a sure sign of what’s coming my way and I’ll have long emotionally and physically trying days ahead of me. But I’ll try and be more sensitive towards my first-born as she is truly special to me and her little world has to be kept far from the worries that keep visiting her about her baby brother/sister, taking away her special place from her parent’s love. I assure you my darling you will always be our little angel who came into our lives with lot of happiness and love. So…smile and don’t worry.
