Letter to my third child, the baby who never released clothes and who has come to teach me so much

When we become parents for the first time Our world begins to revolve around that little baby that fills everything, and whose birth is a real revolution in our lives, because with their arrival in the world, parents are also born.

With the arrival of the second child we are more confident and relaxed, since without a doubt the experience is a degree. But what happens if more children come later? From my experience as a mother of three, I will say that motherhood becomes a "beautiful madness", and that with every baby a new version of dad and mom is born.

Today I take this space to dedicate a letter to my third child: to that baby who has never released clothes and who has come to teach me so much.

In Babies and more Advantages and disadvantages of siblings being several years apart: my experience

To my third son ...

"Although I am convinced that from my belly you already foreshadowed what I was going to expect outside, it was not until the moment of meeting your brothers when everyone we were really aware of how our life would change ".

"Just see you, your older brother" ate "literally with kisses and told you, excitedly, the last movie in the Star Wars saga he had just seen in the cinema. He only had eyes for you, and his words run over talking to your ear they oozed the emotion contained during nine long months of waiting ".

"For its part, your sister, who at that time was only 18 months old, I shouted euphoric and somewhat stunned by the events, alternating their kisses on your lips with clumsy swipes every time we looked away ".

"How difficult it would be for us to give you a quiet rest when we got home! I thought. And indeed, it was."

"Your first months went by with the usual hustle and bustle of a large family, being one of your brothers still a baby. Screams, tantrums, laughs, uncontrolled games, racing down the hall while you slept ... and a iron schedule to follow and that did not take into account your needs, but those of your older brother of school age ".

"Sleep interruptions, postponed shots to arrive on time for extracurriculars and always in tow in the backpack. Surely at some point you thought, "what madness of life!". But if so, you never let us know, because the calm of your eyes and your selfless smiles always made everything very easy for us ".

"You did not release a crib, stroller or high chairWe didn't even have a big party to welcome you. In these almost four years of life, you have barely released toys, much less clothes or shoes. You have inherited everything from your brothers! "

"You also could not enjoy relaxed children's massages or time exclusively for you (because now, the time of mom and dad is divided more than ever), and you appear in few of the family photographs we have at home, because I find it hard to find a moment to update them ".

"But you know one thing, my little one ?: You are extremely special for everyone and despite being the third and having some experience in this of motherhood, you came to teach us a lot of things that we didn't know before." In Babies and more These are the things you should never say to parents with many children

"You taught dad and me that it is possible keep getting surprised with every "first time", like the first time. That it is possible to live intensely the ma (pa) ternity without worries or stress, absorbing every moment with the five senses, because if something we already know is that time flies, and you grow too fast ".

"For your brothers you are the perfect counterpoint. The one who puts the note of madness to the games, the most crazy occurrences, and the craziest creativity. You may have never been able to enjoy a nap without interruptions, and from the beginning you have seen yourself forced to share the toys that were at home, but you have never lacked volunteers to take a bath or take care of yourself, take you by the hand on your first day of school, and see you through the patio fence at recess time ".

"At your young age you can already boast of having two pillars to hold on to when things go wrong and I can't be by your side ".

In Babies and more "When did you grow up so much, baby?"

"And finally, I thank you personally for coming to show me that no two equal maternity, and what always worked with your brothers doesn't have to work with you. Growing up by your side as a mother and learning with you is a real privilege, and I can't be more grateful to life for this valuable opportunity. ".

"Maybe at some point you have thought that being the third party is not easy. But I am sure that one day you will understand the wonderful gift that life has given you by occupying this magical place."
