I was lucky; I never saw any signs of anger in our kids when a new little one came on the scene. Of course it helped that two of the kids were still babies when their new sibling arrived. Also, our older kids were 6 and 8 when their sister was born, and they’d been praying for a baby sibling for a few years.

But being the oldest of four myself, I must admit that I wasn’t always thrilled when another sister showed up (I really wanted a baby brother). Maybe that’s why I got a kick out of these photos of children dealing with the reality of a new baby in the family. (Warning: #7 is a shocker.)
