Many months ago, at a playdate, I held someone's baby while they went to grab something out of their diaper bag for her. N was off playing somewhere but as soon as that baby was in my arms she looked at me, her lower lip went down past her chin and she pouted in the worse way. She would not even come over to see the baby. She just sat on the floor and almost cried.
Yesterday I went out to lunch with a bunch of friends and held B's little one for the first time and N again got super upset. This time she cried. I got her to come see E, but then she laid on the floor and cried. =\ Once I handed E back to B, she cried a bit longer then came over to me and hugged my leg.
Makes me wonder how she'll react and what the transition will be like when she has a little brother or sister.
i'm sorry about that, S...
ReplyDeletei'm sure that N will be fine by the time a little brother or sister comes along... maybe with a little more desensitization at playdates?
