Okay moms of multiple kids. This one is for you! I'm needing your help. Baby boy will be here in 2&3/4 months (but who's counting?). While I am THuh-RILLED to meet my little man, I just started to feel guilt about leaving Sadie...
I know, I know, I'm not "leaving" her. And Sadie is really excited for "Baby Brudder." But I'm feeling some anxiety about my relationship with her changing.
When Cory's gone so much for his school responsibilities, then it's me and this girl! All the time! Sun-up through sundown. Now, sometimes we need a break from each other; but we're a team, Sadie & I. In fact, Sadie often says, "Go to Daddy's house!" That means, "Go Home." She sees us as this little traveling duo that just visits other people's houses, Ha!
A friend of mine told me that kids don't know that they are a completely separate person from their mother until around age 3. I know that sounds kind of silly, but part of it makes sense to me. My gut is TIED to that little girl. I don't even believe that we're two separate people. :)
Well, I guess things change, and I know that this change is for the better. Sadie will learn some independence from me. She'll learn how big and grown up she is by helping with the baby.
And I'll get a new precious life for my guts to be tied to. :)
