A story about Getting a New Sister
for your 2nd Grader.
Diego was a lively boy who loved nothing more than playing soccer. Every day after school, he would rush to the park, his soccer ball under his arm, ready to play with his friends.
One sunny afternoon, after a thrilling game, Diego returned home to find his parents waiting for him with big smiles. 'We have some news, Diego,' his mother said, her eyes sparkling. 'You're going to have a baby sister!'
Diego was shocked. A baby sister? He had always been the only child. He wasn't sure how he felt about sharing his parents' attention.
The next few weeks were a whirlwind. Diego's parents were busy preparing for the baby. Diego felt left out and his soccer practice suffered.
One day, Diego's coach noticed his low spirits. 'What's the matter, Diego?' he asked. Diego shared his worries about his new sister and how things were changing at home.
'Change can be hard, Diego,' his coach said. 'But remember, in soccer and in life, teamwork is important. Your new sister will be part of your team at home.'
Diego thought about his coach's words. He started helping his parents more at home, and slowly, he began to feel excited about his new sister.
The day finally came when Diego's baby sister was born. When he held her for the first time, he felt a rush of love. She was so tiny and cute!
