My Girls – Thankful Thursdays

Last Updated on 10 October 2023 by Colette

Before Amy arrived I was really worried about how Chloe would cope. She can be a real Mummy’s girl and a stubborn monkey at times. I was convinced she would be jealous of the new baby and that she would struggle with less attention and be naughty as a result. 

I couldn’t have been more wrong – Chloe adores her baby sister – she tends to refer to her as “My Amy” – “My Amy sad, My Amy wants your boobs” – today it was “My Amy Sister”. She helps to look after her and is mostly pretty patient when Amy’s needs have to be attended to first. 

For this I am thankful x

  1. What a lovely picture of your two girls together. Hopefully they will stay close and be good friends as they get older.

  2. lovely – I had the same concerns when I was pregnant ( mainly due to everyone telling me my eldest would be jealous) She never was, right from the start she loved her little sister and would do anything for her
