Appreciate the way things are today because it won’t always be this way– that’s what I keep learning 🙂
It’s 4 : 14 PM on day 615 of my journey towards independence and I’ve managed to brush my teeth, feed myself Greek yogurt and banana for breakfast, drink Green Tea by myself, publish my Disability of the Day feature, publish my Kid of the Week feature, hang out with my brother – we sang along to Fireflies by Owl City (see music video below) among other songs it was great fun 🙂 – and feed myself yogurt and Batura for lunch.
Today I wanted to be by myself for a while so I left the dining room and went to my bedroom I didn’t count on my brother following me there irritated I asked him why did you follow me in that moment it occurred to me that I should enjoy him following me around like a little puppy and hugging me all the time because pretty soon he would embarrassed to be seen with me. Do you appreciate the way things are today because you know that it won’t always be this way?
How old is your little brother? You seem to be a wonderful older sister to him, and I hope and pray that he won’t become embarrassed by you. I hope he will pleasantly surprise you as he grows older.
Hi,
He’s 11 turning 12 in August. I try to be a good older sister and as for him being embarrassed by me when he’s older it’s a normal part of growing up every boy is bound to be embarrassed by his older sisters.
Yours truly,
Nisha
True – my little sister always tries to kiss and hug our little brother around his friends, so he’s quite embarrassed too. But following you around at 11 tells me that he sees you as an older sister he appreciates. Keep it up 🙂
See I told you brothers being embarrassed by their older sisters is totally natural 🙂 Yes I suppose he does appreciate me and I appreciate that 🙂
