Being the middle child has its advantages...and disadvantages.
ONE - you miss the boat on being THE first born - the attention, the parades down Main Street USA and all the NEW stuff
TWO - Your parents no longer rush to every cry, scream, wimper, beck and call
THREE - You have an automatic playmate - sibling #1 is anxious to play with you
FOUR - Your reign as the NEW baby is short lived - IF number 3 isn't far behind
FIVE - You can be a BIG sibling AND a little SIBLING
SIX - You usually have a wonderful personality full of fun, love and general good-naturedness
SEVEN - You get the benefit of less anxious parents - they don't turn you into a worry-worty early on
EIGHT - You have more of a laissez-faire attitude towards life
NINE - The toys are ALREADY there - no need to wait until they arrive for the next holiday or birthday
TEN - I am sure there is more - I am just drawing a blank. I was NUMBER ONE after all - not the middle child
And sometimes, just sometimes, you get NEW stuff. Today my middle child got a brand-new PURPLE DORA ski helmet. And number 1 was JEALOUS. Usually, number 2 gets the hand-me-downs and NEVER complains. It was nice to see her be number ONE for today...
