I told the girls that they’ll have a new sister soon. I figured they might as well know now, since she’ll ship tomorrow and I still remember how Story got when Luna arrived 😛 She was pouting for days, so this time I wanted to give her a chance to prepare herself a little. This is how it went!
me: Hey girls! I have something to tell you, some exciting news!
Luna: Oh, what is it?
Story: Exciting news?
Me: I have adopted a little girl, she’ll be coming home soon!
Luna: Oh! I hope she comes home soon, this will be fun!
Story: *pout*
Story: *mumble* ..don’t wanna..*mumble*
Me: Now, Story! This is a good thing, no pouting!
Me: Story, do you remember you were exactly like this when Luna came home?
And now you love her lots! It’ll be the same this time I’m sure ^^
Story: No.. Luna is special.. What if the new girl is mean? What if you wont love me any more?
Me: Of course she wont be mean! I did talk with her current mom you know ^^ She’ll probably be scared when she gets here..
You know what its like to arrive at a new place, with new people.. She’ll need you to help her feel welcomed!
Story: Well.. *fiddles with shoe*.. maybe it won’t be so bad..
Me: And Story.. You know I could never love you any less! You’re my special little girl, and you always will be! 🙂
Story: Promise?
Me: Promise 🙂
Luna: And I will always love you too! We’ll work together to welcome our new sister, right?
Story: Well.. I guess it could be fun with another sister..
Me: ^^
Story: Don’t just sit there, Luna! We have to prepare for our sister’s arrival!
I can tell Story doesn’t quite understand it all yet, but at least she’ll have some time before the new girl gets here ^^ I’m sure it’ll all work out 😀
