Mummy's Voice: Mummy's note to Baby Asher

Dear Baby Asher,

You had mummy so amazed with the care, concern and generosity you had shown to your Little Brother Ayden who came...right from Day 1.

The way you rushed over to check out your little brother when you hear his cries, the way you pat pat him, your willingness in sharing your toys with him, your initiative to bring your bolster to him when you see he has none, the way you acknowledge him as your "didi"... ...
Mummy is so glad you have not been overwhelmed by jealousy which many uncles and aunties has shared with mummy.

For this, mummy says a BIG THANK YOU to you Baby Asher, for being such a great loving brother, eventhough you are still pretty much a baby too at 22 months old...people says TERRIBLE TWOS... ... I hope you stay the way you are to your little brother. ;) Because of your great understanding and acceptance to your little brother, that has made mummy's life so much better. Thank you Baby Asher. I love you!

Of course, with the Little Brother coming into the family, in fact as early as when mummy started to feel heavy during the pregnancy, clumsily moving around with the big tummy, mummy as slacken in my care for you...in terms of the activities I do with you...reading of books etc all has not been as regular as before. This Mummy says a big SORRY to you. But I hope with the Little Brother joining the family, you will have a playmate and will not be lonely next time.

You had the most attention from me when you were in me, when it was ONLY you around in the family. So please understand that with more siblings joining the family, in this case, Didi Ayden, you will have to learn to SHARE EVERYTHING and take turns.
Share the attention from Daddy, Mummy, Grandparents and everyone else.
Share your toys, books, bolsters, food etc...

When you are old enough to read and understand the rationale behind this post, just remember what mummy wants you to understand is... ...

Whether as the number 1 baby or number 2 baby or more... ...
All of you are important to Daddy and Mummy, important to the family.
We love all of you with no differences...but sometimes each of you may be loved in a different way.
Some things in life are beyond our control and the chain of events that happen thereafter are inevitable.

So never compare. Because each of you are unique and individual.
Each of you are just as important to us.

Loved,
Daddy & Mummy!
