Ethyl admitted to my sis that her "unusual" behaviour is because she is afraid that we will love didi and not her anymore...
Time we do something about it...

it's natural that she feels this way and quite unavoidable I must say. I went through that too. first 3 months of Kenji's arrival was really challenging. While we are still learning how to balance the attention, the elder one will be trying all sorts of funny thing to ensure that we remember he/she is around.
just remember it's not that you are not handling well, it's just that both parties need time to adapt.
It's really inevitable that the eilder ones will have to go through this stage of insecurities when another sibling arrived...don't blame yourself for how she is feeling, given time, she'll slowly understand that you love both her and didi as much.. :)

I think this is rather 'normal' to feel that little threatened. At least little Ethyl is able to identify her feelings and sharing it ;-)
