It feels familiar from just a year and some months ago.

Same room, same little guy-only now he is a big brother.

And someone else is the new guy.

This time the room is full of both the quiet newness of brand new infant and all the energy and motion of an energetic toddler.

It’s only a matter of time before there are two sets of muddy footprints trailing them from the yard. They’ll match both sets of sticky hand prints on the window sill.

Snowballs, baseballs, caterpillars, and Nerf guns.

Today he met his baby brother, but soon he won’t remember a single adventure without him.
