As we eagerly anticipate the arrival of our second child, I’ve been reflecting on what this means for you. Welcoming a new sibling into our home will undoubtedly be a big transition for everyone, especially for you. You’ll soon be sharing your space, your toys, and the love of your parents with another little one. This is a significant change, and I want to take a moment to connect with you before the whirlwind begins.
Hey there, my little buddy!
First off, I want to say how incredibly excited your mom and I are about this new addition to our family. It’s adorable how you already call the baby “our baby.” While that may sound a bit odd now, it’s a beautiful indication of your budding sibling bond! We can’t wait to see you two grow together as partners in crime, competitors, and hopefully, lifelong friends.
We’re thrilled to see how this new chapter will help you learn and develop, just like I did with my own siblings. I want you to know that while some things will change, the most important part will remain the same: our love for you is unwavering. You’re our firstborn, and that title will always hold a special place in our hearts.
I understand if you might feel a bit anxious. This will be your first experience living with a baby, but guess what? You’re more than capable of handling it, and we’re counting on you to lend a helping hand.
I also want to reassure you that there’s no reason to feel jealous. I can only imagine how my heart will expand to accommodate both you and your little brother. Rest assured, our love for you will never diminish, no matter how many siblings you have (though I promise this is the only one!). You don’t need to worry about sharing our affection. Being the firstborn gives you an advantage, after all!
Change can be a little scary, but remember, it’s also a chance for growth. You won’t be the baby anymore, but you’ll always be our little guy. We’re excited for you to embrace your new role as a big brother. You’ll learn what it means to love and protect someone, to understand them better than anyone else, and yes, to sometimes feel a little annoyed at how much they depend on you. But that’s all part of the journey, and it will help your heart grow, just like ours did when you came into our lives.
No matter how hectic things get—whether our house feels crowded, or your mom and I feel exhausted, or if your toys start disappearing to make room for baby things—nothing can change how much we love you. You will always be the center of our world.
We’re going to navigate this new adventure together, and I promise you’ll be just fine. You don’t have to worry about a thing—leave that to me!
Love you loads,
Dad
