The Wish Of The Eldest Child

Just two days ago, you came into the room while I was with baby and said that you wish for days before your DiDis were born. That's when you got to spend lots of time with us Papa and Mama. It was sad to hear that. Sad that you wished you were an only child. Sad that it meant you sometimes don't enjoy time spent with your little brother. Sad that it is a reality that I haven't got to spend much time with you doing all the fun montessori things we used to do other than homework or keyboard practice. But I would like to try harder. Although it's difficult now with a new born, I would still like to think that we can arrange for a day in a month to begin with where it's just you and me on a date and then you and Papa. Meanwhile, although you and DiDi J sometimes fight and argue, you do love each other on good days. I see you two sharing and hugging and playing nicely most times. If I am around when any arguing happens, I will try to tell you two the alternative nicer way to go round it. Hopefully that will be engraved in both of you although naturally it is easier to just snatch or get angry first. Only two of you now... wondering how it will be like when DiDi B  joins in the fun!
