Yes, change was afoot but I think I saw it simply as the next chapter in the adventure – I am the eldest of 3 Girls myself and I have absolutely no memory of what it was like BEFORE my Sisters came along…..am sure it was great, having my Mum all to myself, but actually my happiest memories involved my siblings & I have no memory of feeling unsettled as each of them came along (Although it probably was at the time!!)
Similarly, I am surprised by my lack of sadness that my “Baby” will go to school in September – don’t get me wrong, I am actively avoiding thinking about 7 yrs from now when we will have a 16 yr old, 14 yr old & 11 yr old Girls all under one roof, but I love watching them grow & develop into individuals and the change that comes as they get older!
Unless, that is, they turn into evil, hormone riddled madam – in that case, I’m leaving home…..!
