My little brother was born, and that made me really happy.
Mom went to a place called “Nyuuin” for a while.
When she finally came home with Dad, she brought my brother with her.
My brother laughs a lot, giggling happily.
He says words I do not understand yet, but most of the time, he is either crying or laughing.
When I am taking care of him, he seems to laugh more.
I hope that means he is having fun.
Dad was so excited that he bought all kinds of toys,
but my brother still does not really understand them.
He just looks at them with a puzzled face.
So I gave him my special hat instead.
A blue baseball cap. My favorite one.
He stared at it for a while with a blank expression,
then suddenly made a mischievous face.
He pulled it, pinched it a little,
and then tossed it across the room.
After that, he burst out laughing again.
Well, that is fine.
As long as he is having fun.
Laugh a lot.
Eat plenty.
Sleep well.
Grow bigger than me someday.
And when you do,
take me for a walk.
Twice a day.
In the morning, and in the evening.
