My baby brother, who is currently about eight inches taller than me, is the joy in my every day. That day so many years ago when I was blessed with a baby brother I really wasn’t too thrilled. At five days before my third birthday I was definitely not a happy camper that my baby brother had stolen my sunshine. I was SO WRONG! But I didn’t know at the time just how much. He is so salty with me at times and growing up the two of us were like night and day. If I liked something he hated it but somehow we grew to be the best of friends. My brother will always be there for me when I need him and I know I can count on him for anything. He is my partner in crime and my equal in all things adventure related.

My brother always says, “there is always time for a new adventure”. And in our house that couldn’t be a truer statement! My brother always has something up his sleeve and I’m normally primed and ready to jump right in with him in whatever plans he has for the next great adventure. My brother is the ultimate instigator of all shenanigans.

The two of us together can be a dangerous but fun experience. We are almost always up to something and its normally adventure related. My parents learned a long time ago not to let us loose in the house if we were bored because they might come back to any number of wonder filled catastrophes. From forts, mud, kitchen messes and maybe a few pranks there is no telling what me and my brother can get into when we put our heads together.

No matter how sneaky and adventurous my brother and I can be, my brother can also be the sweetest kid ever. Sometimes it is great to just curl up on the couch with my brother and watch a sappy old Disney movie. He is always up for hot cocoa, popcorn and Disney.

So, these are just a few qualities that make my brother great and life definitely wouldn’t be the same without him!
