Haha olive I saw her independent streak - Heaven there yelling out "DD2, come back here" and she would look at Heaven and go the opposite direction - and she's only 1!! Cheeky monkey!

Wouldn't have believed it if I hadn't seen it

I've thought a bit about this Heaven. My DD was so ready to be a big sister. She's independent, mostly caring ( ) and happy to share mummy. DS on the other hand, I can't see how he is going to react to a new baby. He's very much still a little boy so I'm unsure how this new baby is going to alter things.

Now that I think about it, the behaviour of a stereotypical "middle child" is similar to a youngest maybe?? Apart from the "being forgotten" thing maybe... Anyway, DS will just have to adjust. I think I've got an advantage, girl followed by boy - if this new one is a boy, he will hang with his bro and I'm sure they will be a force to be reckoned with and DS will not be forgotten. If it is a girl, she will be the baby and DS will be special because he will be the only boy. Maybe???

Well who knows. I'll report back in 9 months or so...
