But on most occasions, she isn't happy to be told that she will have to share her mom/papa/grandma and even her Didi(domestic help). She insists that to avoid such a confrontation she is willing to be the little baby's mom so there isn't sharing of close ones.
She even wants the little one to sleep in her room. For the sole reason that she will get to sleep with mummy and papa; in their room. She has allowed me to put the baby cot in her room so that is highly accommodating. But on the condition that a Navya's corner is created in mummy-papa's room where she can sleep. Fair Enough!
Mohit and I have tried talking to her. Telling her in many subtle ways that a baby will soon come in our lives and we all will have to look after the baby. We have shown her books, dolls of infants and read stories explaining the things a little baby will need. She doesn't care less. She simply rolls into my lap saying I am her mama. She tells Mohit when he bathes her that he cannot bathe the new baby and this bathing routine will be her sole property.
But tonight before sleeping, we were in an embrace and talking when I told her you will always be my sweety baby. She answered back immediately, " And right now I am your little baby. But only till the chota baby comes. Haina, Mumma?" I simple hugged her tighter and told her she will always be my most special one. My little one has finally reconciled to the arrival of a little one in our lives. She has grown up. And that is the final signal that we are finally armed and ready to welcome the new born.
