There may be trouble ahead

Well Summer is well and truly over and Christmas is fast approaching.

My son has now just about settled back into school - year one is so much more tiring than Foundation apparently. But he's worried ...

At first he was really excited by the news that he will be getting a baby brother or sister in February - 'yay! All my friends have got one' - but now he's getting a bit worried.

Initially he asked if he could name the baby - we've sidestepped that by suggesting that everyone picks a name and we'll decided which suits the baby best when it is here (and my husband has secretly told him that mummy has the final say!).

I've had to consciously stop myself from saying '... because of the baby' but it hasn't helped that I had morning sickness and then a scare which led to him staying at grandma's for a weekend whilst I rested. So understandably he is worried about me.

Then there's the question of the cuddles - 'will the baby get more cuddles than me?' - I've told him that he needs to loudly remind his grandma's that he needs cuddles too - I hope that doesn't come back to bite me ...
