Theo Welcomes a Tiny Star
Theo makes room for a new baby without losing his own place in the family story.
- Notice what is changing
The new star mobile went over the new bed. Theo wondered where his old stars would go.
- Build Theo’s own corner
Dad did not say, “You are too big for that.” He asked, “What should stay yours?”
- Choose one small helper job
Theo chose one cloth and one tiny book. Helping could be a small choice, not a giant job.
- Keep a familiar ritual
Theo switched on the star lamp and watched the quiet shapes travel across the navy tent.
- Make space for noise
When the baby cried, Theo covered his ears. Mum covered them with him.
- Share the moon
Theo placed the felt moon nearby. The baby watched it swing, slow and gold.
- Protect Theo’s own time
When the room became quiet, Mum kept their own story time. Theo’s place had not disappeared.
- Keep Theo in the cuddle
There were five arms in the family cuddle. Two of them belonged to Theo.
The character, held steady
Theo is seven, with a dark bowl cut, round amber glasses, rust overalls, an ivory striped shirt, green socks, and a felt moon pin.
