Although this must be old-hat for Emmett, I am kind of nervous about the fact that I am going to be a big brother. It seems like a lot of responsibility. You have to teach the little one about a lot of stuff… What to taste, what not to taste. How to properly fling food with more than just a spoon. What sort of smile works to get you out of certain situations. There’s a lot to know if you are going to be a successful baby. And it falls to me to teach a little sister (Mom and Dad are pretty sure but aren’t going to find out until she gets here) all about these things.
But I think that if she’s half as fun as Emmett is to play with, it will be great. Emmett thinks that this means we’ll have someone else to blame for everything that we do wrong. Now, I don’t know so much about that, but I do like the idea of having someone else involved in any high jinx. The more the merrier!
She’s coming in January. So get ready!
Riley
