So Nur-Jehan has been throwing these serious tantrums for the past couple of weeks wanting to held, wanting to lay her head on my breast constantly, crying that she is sleepy just to get me to pick her up and cuddle her. Am not gonna lie! It has been driving me insane most times. So in the midst of a crying spell yesterday I held her closely and asked "are you scared of Mommy havin a baby" "No" she said sniffling. "Are you scared of Mommy going to the hospital and leaving you?" "No" she said. "You know Mommy is not going to leave you. Mommy loves you and is not going to to leave you. Mommy is going to goto the hospital and you are going to come sleep with Mommy and the baby in the hospital. Mommy is going to ALWAYS love you! I am not going to forget about you when the new baby comes. You will still be Mommy & Daddy's baby, but you are going to be the big girl baby and help us with the little baby..."
I said more, but she totally got it! That was it! She gave me a tight hug and smiled, got off my lap and wanted to play with me. WOW! NEVER UNDERESTIMATE THE EMOTIONS OF A 2YR OLD! The rest of the evening was tantrum and cry free!
