No longer an only child

Our only son wanted a brother or sister
but when expecting a second child there is the worry
will he feel unwanted or resent having to share his parents
with a new baby who needs a lot of attention ?
This little story was to show that an only child can get what he wants
a brother or sister to play with
and still be equally loved………………………….

In the beginning there were a couple
who had a baby whom they loved
then they got pregnant
and had another baby
who needed a lot of attention
but they still loved their first child just as much
and became an even more happy family!

(Now no-one has to sleep in a room all alone)

Daddy

Children sometimes have a simple way
of looking at a problem…
They accept it
and get on with the fun part of living
Perhaps
if some adults were to re-learn that skill
Life would sometimes be
just a little easier

A Family

Having a baby is a wonderful thing!
A mother and father and their baby will
Always and Forever
be family
‘Lean on me’
is what starting a family allows
No matter what – you are now united,
you are stronger – you are a family
