lovin' on our littlest….
Isaac is so good with Matilda, he is just the right amount interested. The girls smother her and me all the time which can be a bit draining at times. But Isaac is affectionate to her without smothering her. I can't pretend that I dont worry about him though. Being the only boy in four, he has mentioned once or twice since she was born that he thought the baby was going to be boy and I cant tell you how much it crushes me. I try to big up the big brother angle, he will have his own room, he wont have to share any of his beloved trains but i do wonder how the dynamics of our family are going to play out now.
A few weeks ago I was speaking to a friend's sister and saying this very thing and she said to me..'you need not worry, he will be a super well adjusted and in touch young man who will make someone a wonderful husband. Those are words I needed to hear.
My hopes are that Isaac and Ben develop a really close relationship and that the girls will always adore and look up to their older brother. I have experience of having an older brother myself and its something i always wanted for any girls I would have.
But for the moment I am watching him and wondering if its going to be okay…..
