Peter's sister is due to arrive on January 30th. That makes Peter the only show in town for only 4 more weeks. He has enjoyed being an only child to a degree (he loves attention, and I don't think that's ever going to change) but I fear that Mommy and I fail to entertain him to the degree we once did on a consistant basis. He asks for new friends, he asks to be sent to pre-school, he doesn't want us to chapperone at the prom, etc.
Well, a month from now it will all be different. He'll be Big Brother Pete, helpful aide to Mom & Dad. Changer of diapers, wiper-upper of spit-up. Maker of dinner, runner of errands. Yes, Peter will be a big boy who makes life so much easier for Mommy, Daddy and Baby Sister.
Right?

Well, something like that. On the plus side, Peter does take pleasure in being helpful. Perhaps this will overcome whatever feelings of unwelcome competition he may experience. At some point, the big brother role will be one he welcomes (at least much of the time.)
