I spend a great deal of time blogging etc about her brother so this post is all about Thea.
So Thea starts school in 10 sleeps ( how she is counting down). We have uniform and shoes, book bag and kit bag. The excitement is building. But im left feeling that at some point i blinked and she went from...
to
blink again and
Blink again and time flashed by.
Then she wanted a sibling. What she got was not what any of us expected, and her life changed dramaticly. Thea grew physically and emotionally. She had to share her parents not just with a brother, but with drs and nurses, OTs and physios, health visitors and surgeons. Her sensitive, caring nature has been put through the emotional wringer. Thea has matured quicker than she should have through necessity. She is amazing, tolerant, helpful and a fantasic sister. Her love for her brother and her understanding of his problems astounds me at times. Even though she misses out on trips out if hes poorly or we have appointments, she rarely complains.
Thea strops and storms about, slams doors, can be cheeky, wears me out at times, but can always make me laugh and smile. She keeps us going through tough periods.
Thea knows her own mind, and if she doesnt agree with you you are in for an interesting time! And now, school is just round the corner. My baby is all grown up ( well not really she is still 4 after all). I get the impression i will blink again and she will be at senior school.......
Isn't it scary? Emmy has 9 more sleeps, and yep, counting the days too.
ReplyDeleteObviously ours is the other way round, Emmy has never known a life different to the way ours is, but she is amazing with Callum and is so keen to learn all about his disability.
We have amazing girls, and pretty amazing boys too!
Aww she is just lovely and reminds me so much of my Angel at the same age. Who will be starting University in about 10 sleeps...
