petit d

{when you were the brand-newest baby}
 
dear tiny nephew:
today you will become a big brother.
i don't know what it is like to be one of those, but i do know that having one is the very best thing in the whole world.
your tiny sibling is gonna be looking up to you for the rest of forever, and thinking you're just the most magical thing. so try not to be mean unless they really deserve it, and have patience as they learn how to be a real human over the years. even if they cry a lot. like, a lot a lot...
love, your previous-baby-of-the-family aunt

Very nice post Erin, thanks. I'll read it to Declan tonight - although he may need you to remind him these things from time to time! Stella can't wait to meet you!
