Memoir

No one is more excited than Jasmine to have baby Avery in the house. Jazzy was one of those little girls who wished for a baby brother or sister. And now that he's arrived, she is much less stressed out, playing constantly, and happily falling into that big sister role.





They play together constantly while Sam slumps in my office to get some shut eye.

I remember the way I felt when I first got a little brother, too. My little brother came by marriage so at fifteen I gained an eleven-year-old sibling. It was quite a change of pace for me because I now had to share the bathroom, computer, and telephone and sometimes it felt like the house was not big enough for the two of us. But even so, I loved him so very much.

That must be how Jasmine feels about Avery.
