Perhaps you have a little brother or sister. Perhaps you ARE a little brother or sister. Regardless of which side of this dynamic you occupy, here’s hoping you have half as much fun as Alden and August.
She loves to kiss him and lift him and teach him things and make him laugh.
He loves to watch her and follow her and do what she does and snuggle in close to her under a blanket on the couch.
They are two sides of a coin, sharing a big round head, curly hair, and a strain of wild joy that seems to be bundled with their wiring.
I look forward to seeing them grow together as time goes on, always four years distant, but never more than four steps apart.
