Almost a year since I last wrote here and lots of things have happened since. The most important one being the latest addition to our family - your lil brother 'Vivaan.'
It was the first time that I had ever stayed away from you for two nights. Although your grandparents were there at home to take care of you, you have let me know in no uncertain terms that this is not a done thing. So your request is to have no more babies in the family because ''a baby means mummy stays in the hospital which Ashita does not like.'' Am happy to comply with that! :)
Initially you were pretty insecure, dont get me wrong, you loved Vivaan to bits, you only had a problem if anybody else loved him too. It took a good two months before you got comfortable with the idea that Vivaan was here to stay and a little more longer to watch either me or your dad playing with him.
However, you are an absolutely brilliant sister to have. Two weeks after he was born we had to go get his buggy, so while Vivaan slept in his car seat, we were having a look around in the store. I saw you had stationed yourself next to his car seat and thought you must be getting bored, so I suggested ''why don't you check out the toys section and choose a toy for yourself?'' To which I got a prompt reply, '' Thank you but I will wait till you finish choosing a buggy because I want to make sure someone is watching over Vivaan.''
Protective to the core! Doesn't mean its all nice and sweet though coz now you both butt your heads against each other and have a typical sis-bro relationship where both of you are crying and I am screaming at the two of you! :)
These will definitely be the best years of my life I think. Physically exhausting but definitely worth it for the smiles and hugs I get. I dread the day when you both will shy away from any PDA (Public Display of Affection) from me.
If I could just hold on to this thought and cherish all the small things that make up my life, I think I shall die a content lady. Amen!
