You were our first, and for so long you were our one and only
But now we’ve added one more to our family journey
Things have changed a lot for you since another came along
I want to say I’m so impressed by how you’re getting on!
You love your baby sister and shower her with kisses
When we are out without her you tell me how much you miss her
And yet I know that sharing me with her can not be easy
You’ve had Daddy and I to yourself for many, many seasons
Sometimes you’ll tell me it was easier to be the only one
When we didn’t have to stay at home until the baby’s feed was done
When we could spend hours making dresses for your dolls
And building towers without me being called away by our baby’s calls
But in time you’ll come to realise just how special it can be
To have a little sister who loves you unconditionally
To have someone there to share things with, to play your little games
To tell secrets to, to build dens with, and to splash in puddles when it rains
You’ll see when you are older that she’s the best thing that we could ever give you
When you’ve got her back and she’s got your’s, no matter what you do
You two will likely fight like cats, but also love each other madly
You’ll cover for each other when you’ve been behaving badly
You were our first, but now you are a wonderful big sis
I loved you first, and love you still even through the baby mist
You climb on me to join in when your little sis needs fed
I hold you both through everything when all is done and said.
