When you have a little brother, you have to learn to share. Share Mummy and Daddy's time, share the limelight with the rest of the family, share your precious toys, and, of course, share ice cream.
We are right at the beginning of the process of learning to share. M sometimes gets a bit worried that his wooden train set, so carefully constructed, will get dismantled and knocked over by his little brother (or 'F the Giant' as he likes to call him when he looms over his small world toys). And sometimes there are little strops when F picks up a toy that M was playing with.
But, if this month's Siblings photos are anything to go by, these two little brothers are off to a good start. We were spending the day at Gulliver's Kingdom in Matlock, Derbyshire, for M's birthday and stopped for an ice cream break before heading back home. M offered F a lick of his ice cream without any prompting. It was a lovely end to a beautiful family day, full of sunshine, smiles and kisses all round.
Aww what a lovely big brother! It's moments like that that make you feel that perhaps you are doing something right after all isn't it!
