My
Baby Brother
by Kenya Wright
The Big Day! I couldn’t believe it, it was finally happening! This would be the best
day ever! I couldn’t wait to meet him! I was so antsy, I thought I might jump out of
my skin! This is the day I would meet my baby brother.
I was at preschool when my dad picked me up. I knew exactly what it was for, my little
brother was being born today!
When we approached the hospital I had mixed feelings. I was excited to meet the baby but it
occurred to me, what if I’m not the cute one anymore? What if the baby hates me? Nah, that
couldn’t happen. I’m pretty likeable. When I walked in the room I heard some loud snoring. Is
that the baby? I wondered. Nope my mom. They were both asleep. I accidently woke them up.
Gasp! I can’t believe it! A tiny little boy crying! “What’s his name?” I asked. “Isaiah,” she replied.
“Can I hold him?” my sister asked. Finally it was my turn. “He’s adorable,” I said to myself.
Three days later my mom came home, and I was excited to live with a baby. He was so
chubby! I asked to feed Isaiah, and I sat on the couch and held him gently. After that
my sister got to burp him. I knew then that having Isaiah as a little brother would
be awesome!
When Isaiah was a baby, I loved giving him kisses all around his face.
I wasn’t scared any more about not being the cute one. I accepted
my place as the big sister as well as Isaiah stealing all the
attention. Now, my baby brother is five years old. He’s
bossy. He’s whiny. He’s loud and I love him.
He’s my baby brother.
