Check out the picture Big Sis drew (click on it to see the detail) - it really made DSO and I laugh! The large figure in the centre is Big Sis, she is standing next to the cake that she and Little Bro made (with the help of my wonderful sister) and bought into the hospital for Tertia. The figure on the right is Tertia. The tiny little figure on the far left is Little Bro!
The fact that DSO and I don’t figure is no accident - we are not relevant, and poor Little Bro is barely there! I suspect he is included for perspective - to show the relative importance of Big Sis and Tertia!
It’s a study in the ego-centrism of a 4 year old! It also shows how Big Sis has reacted to a baby in the house. She loves her little sister and shows no jealousy. I think she just wishes we’d all go away and let her get on with the most important job of all - big sister!
