It just occured to me how ‘lonely’ Arianna is! It’s got nothing to do with friends at all if that is what you’re thinking, it’s cousins!!
Today while chatting to a friend who told be some good news about her BIL who is expecting their first baby in June and how she is so happy that her girl finally has a cousin. Then it dawned on me that OMG….Arianna has NONE at all! I’m just glad that she will at least have a baby sister to play with.
Both Ted and I only have one other sibling and both are still single. Chances of my BIL getting married any time soon is rather slim and my sis…well, she is still searching for her Mr. Right. [If anyone got potential candidates, applications are still open! 
]
I was lucky that both my parents come from large families. Mum is one of 9 and Dad was one of 13! So any family gathering was damn fun and I have loads and loads of cousins. One only has to go through my FB to see how many cousins I have all over the palce! And it’s really fun to have so many cousins of different ages too.
One thing though, I’m quite happy that at least when we go back to Malaysia, Arianna will never be short of a playmate. 
After all, we are all apart of one really big family!

i get u! my father’s got 11 siblings, my mom has 6. i was never lonely growing up. we’re planning to move (God willing) back to melbourne when gib starts going to school, so gib’ll be in the same boat as arianna. but u know what, i think kids adapt better than us adults, kan? and by the way, arianna is sooo lucky becoz she’ll have little sis to torture! heheehhe
