Two Years: Prologue

Most kids in this world get to enjoy at least two birthdays
as the baby of the family.


For Asher, it was just one birthday as our one and only,
dandled darling,
ooshie-pooshie,
center-of-attention-at-all-times boy.
(He never asked to be a big brother a mere 16 months after his own grand entrance.)


That's why my heart swelled with love
when I saw my big boy
(without being asked, nudged, coerced, or guilted in any way)
bend down
and share one of his beloved french fries
with his little brother.
Brotherly Love
After all, isn't that what brotherhood (and being a big boy) is all about?
