It can be a difficult time so they say. I wouldn't have the slightest idea, bing the only child that I am. This is very well written quatrains of rhyming couplets in perfect iambic tetrameter so it flows very well indeed.

LOL What a cute little number Connie and congrats to the addition to the family. I'm sure the sibling rivalry won't exist LOL...it can be a jealous and unsure time for the existing child, I know Jackson came in and had a look at Tahlia and then seemed a bit disinterested once the novelty was over. But he DOES get jelly when Tahzy and I have mum and daughter girly smooches and cuddles on the bed and he tries to bust in and join the party...I tell him it's GIRL TIME LOL...haha
Your family won't know what's hit it when she arrives, little girls are QUITE a force...trust me. SO much to look forward to though...someone else for Jack to play with, someone for him to teach the ways of the world to...and someone who will look up to him in years to come. What a wonderful time this is for you!!! Hooray!
Great little bouncy rhymes as always AND in perfect meter, so sixer for you.
BTW BOOKS HAVE ARRIVED!! I collect them this morning...SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO excited!! Talk soon~!
Hugs and much love

What a wonderful review, Sweetie! Thank you for both the review and the sixer as well. I loved reading about you and Tahlia and how you have your special Mum and daughter time when Jackson wants to get in on the smooches. You've shared so many delightful stories about Tahlia over the years that I can't wait to see if we will have the same high spirited little girl that yours appears to be. She sure is a cutie and looks just like her mum. In fact, both your kids do!
Thanks again and I can't wait to get my book.
Many hugs and much love right back at ya

Love your words as the viewpoint of your grandson waiting for the arrival of his little sister. The poem gives the reader a good feeling and congrats on being a granny again. How exciting!

Cute poem written by the little boy's perspective . The rhyme scheme is pristine, which is refreshing to read after suffering through many of the "poems" submitted on here. But I digress. Your poem would even make a sweet children's book.

Thank you so much for your most encouraging review. You mentioned that this would "make a sweet children's book." Since our Jack was born, my husband and I have put a book of photos and poems for each year of his life. We are working on year three right now.
Thanks again.

Children do get jealous, but with time they forget. The trick is to make them feel that they are just as important as they were before the baby came. Your poem from big brother's POV is very sweet.

Connie, congratulations on being a grandma again next year.
You will have so much fun. I'm sure you'll continue to spoil
Jack and make him feel he's still loved. Great rhyming and I
enjoyed reading it.

I was 2 1/2 when my brother was born. The only boy out of 4
children. Can't remember being jealous. My older sisters probably kept me busy. LOL They were 6 and 11 years older than me. Jack will adjust. He is so adorable I doubt he will be neglected attention wise. Cute poem and congratulations, grandma! xx Nancy

Comment from Sandra du Plessis
A very well-written poem in the point of view of the boy, to welcome his little sister that will come along soon, at least he will still be the only son.

Comment from Thal1959
Excellent poem of a life experience. Every expression makes sense, the rhymes are well chosen, and there is never a skip to the beat. Although the vocabulary is a bit mature supposedly coming from a toddler, one can't fault the words for not being more "toddler-like." Nothing needs to be changed. Thanks for posting.
