Yesterday, I discharged from the hospital by myself with Joram on Labor Day. (I did the same years ago with Jayna on my actual birthday!!!) Being a public holiday, my in-laws took the older two to a church carnival while Joshua had to stay home to take care of Jaide and do the household chores.
Thus, the only sibling who saw Joram for the first time was Jaide. As with the previous ones, I intended to ignore the newborn in favor of the older kid when I reached home. I was surprised though when Jaide could not keep her eyes off the squirmy little thing whom I put down on my bed the moment I returned in order to hug and kiss her. She kept looking and pointing to him. When I finally asked her, "Do you want to see 弟弟?" she nodded her head gleefully. She was very sweet and gentle with him and kept wanting to play with him.
I pray that she will continue to shower love upon him and be a good sister to him in time to come!
