Today I wanted to share with you the tale of my two girls. Biscuit was always desperate to have a baby sister. When we told her another baby was on the way she was thrilled, but quite certain that it shouldn't be a baby boy. Obviously this worried us a little as we had no choice in the matter. We decided to find out what we were expecting at our 20 week scan. Biscuit came with us, together with a plentiful supply of lollipops to keep her quiet. She was a bit disappointed that the picture on screen didn't look like Dora The Explorer, but thrilled beyond words when she was told that a baby sister was on the way to join her.
Fast forward another 19 weeks to the day that Wiggles was born. Biscuit came to visit us in the afternoon, proudly wearing her new "Best Big Sister" t shirt. She came into our little curtained cubicle, kissed me, and asked if this was her baby? I said that it was and she knelt up beside the little perspex crib and whispered "Hello Sis, I've been looking forward to you!"
And I dissolved.
They've been firm friends ever since. I love these two.
Aww thats a gorgeous magic moment. My eldest has been very proud to be a big brother xx
ReplyDeleteAhhh, bless him. I bet he's a great one too :)
DeleteSo sweet!!!!

DeleteAw, how lovely. My elder sister was only 18 months when me and my twin brother arrived, turning everyones world upside down. She still hasn't forgiven me...you are lucky they like each other!
ReplyDeleteI think we are!! Your poor sister! I bet twins came as a shock :)
DeleteOh what a sweetie! (Love the fact she wanted the baby to look like Dora!) x
ReplyDeleteI know! She was so disappointed! And she has the impertinence to still refuse to grow proper hair, which just adds insult to injury!!!
DeleteAwww so sweet xx

ReplyDeleteThank you my dear! Long may it last (she says with fingers firmly crossed) ;) xx
DeleteOh heart-melt!! How adorable is Biscuit?! I have to say I did laugh at her expecting Dora on the monitor! Sounds like something my daughter would say xx
ReplyDeleteI think she was hoping the baby would be swinging from vine to vine in my tummy accompanied by a small irritating monkey. I can see how the reality must have been disappointing for her!!
DeleteOh my goodness Kate I dissolved when I read that post,I could just picture the scene as she walked in to see her baby sister for the first time,absolute magic!These magic moment posts are making mw all gooey tonight! X
ReplyDeleteBless you! I'm a massive softie too :) it was lovely though :)
DeleteDear lord, that is so bloody cute! What a lovely wee girl. You're incredibly lucky! And they're so lucky to have each other as sisters...! Xxx
ReplyDeleteShe is a little sweetheart. I'm not convinced they'll always like each other, but I'm convinced they'll always be there for each other. And that makes me very happy!!
DeleteOh WHAT...now I'm blubbering again. How fabulous is this post and I now look like a freak sobbing :)
ReplyDeleteNah!!!! I sob my way through Magic Moments every week, I'm a pervert, I must be, I quite enjoy the blubbing!!
DeleteThis is ADORABLE! No wonder you melted! If I ever have another one I want Little Miss to be at a nice age to appreciate him/her like your eldest clearly does. So cute!
