It can be very tense when new family members first meet one another, particularly if they are both so young. It was announced to Rowan that he would be seeing his infant sister today.
His parents weren’t sure how he would react. Rowan is a toddler, just a little bit bigger than his newborn sister. He is conscious of his unwavering love for her, though.
Before visiting his mother, Rowan takes the time to pick out a small bouquet of flowers for her. When he later offers it to her, she clearly adores it.
As soon as Rowan’s father walks into the room, his mother quickly picks him up off the floor. He notices his sister, a tiny sleeping figure inside a tiny glass box.
He doesn’t know what to do with his sister when they put them side by side on the hospital bed. He follows his parents’ lead and gently touches her as they do.
Rowan eventually perfects the art of tenderly stroking her, ensuring that she has a comfortable and sound night’s sleep. Even when her pacifier comes out of her mouth, he helps her put it back in.
At this moment, Rowan’s parents are overjoyed.
He is so happy to have a sister and can’t wait to spend more time with her.
