MY BABY BROTHER-LITTLE JOE as told by 61/2yr. old Hoss

 

By:  Lynne G.

 

 

I am so excited, cuz it's gettin' closer to when my baby brother will be born.  Papa and momma said it's only a few more weeks now.

 

My big brother Adam who is 6 years older than me keeps asking me why I keep saying "baby brother".  He says what happens if'n we get a baby sister instead?  I tell him the baby's gonna be a boy.  Momma also says the baby will be a boy too.  Papa says the same thing big brother tells me, but me and momma know it's a boy.

 

It will be so much fun fer me to finally be a big brother too.  I hate to go to school in case my baby brother comes when I'm there.  I wanna be home when he gets here.  COME ON BABY BROTHER-PLEASE HURRY AND GET HERE SO I CAN BE YOUR BIG BROTHER!

 

Momma wasn't feelin' too good today.  She thinks my baby brother will come sooner than he's pose taDunt know why Papa and momma are so worried for.  PLEASE, BABY BROTHER HURRY UP AND GET HERE !

 

I think my baby brother is comin' ta night, cuz Dr. Martin is upstairs with papa and momma.  Can't figure out why it takes so many people to get my baby brother here.

 

Papa is now down here with me, Adam and Hop Sing.  Papa keeps walkin' round the room and he keeps lookin' at the stairs.  I guess he's waitin' for my baby brother to walk down the stairs.

 

I HEAR HIM !   I HEAR HIM !!  My baby brother is here and he's cryin' really loud.  Wonder why he's cryin'?

 

Papa ran up the stairs to see my baby brother.  I hope me, Adam, and Hop Sing get our turns real soon too.

 

Papa called fer us to come upstairs and meet my baby brother.  When we got into papa and momma's room, papa was sittin' on the bed holding a tiny, and I mean tiny baby.  Adam , me ,and Hop Sing looked down at our baby brother-see I told ya I would have a baby brother.

 

Gee, I didn't think he would be so tiny. Papa told us his name is Joseph Francis Cartwright.  That name is way too big for my very tiny baby brother, so I'm gonna call him Little Joe.  It fits him much better.  Everyone likes that name-Little Joe.

 

He is so purdy!  He has lots of dark curly hair and the biggest green eyes I have ever seen.  He is lookin' at me, and ya know what- he smiled at me.

 

I have seen new babies before, but none this tiny.  Some babies weren't purdy at all.  Kinda reddish and wrinkled up.  YUCK!!

 

Papa told me to sit down on the bed, and he let me hold my new baby brother.  I told papa that I'd have a baby brother, just like me and momma said.  Oh, I sure love ya Little Joe.

 

I love ta help take care of Little Joe, but I dunt like to help change his diapers though.  It dunt smell so good sometimes.  I asked momma how could he be so purdy, and smell like that?  She smiled at me and said all babies do that.  I dunt think I ever did that.  I use the outhouse.

 

I get worried bout Little Joe cuz he dunt have no teeth, so I guess that's why he just drinks milk.  I hope he will have teeth some day, so he can eat food.  I love food.

 

I've been tryin' to get him to play with toys, but he dunt want too.  Momma says he's way to tiny to play with toys.  I can't wait till he can play with toys. 

 

I told papa today that we need ta get Little Joe a pony so he can go riding with us, but papa said babies can't ride pony's till they get older.  I hope papa dunt tell that to Little Joe, cuz he will cry.  I know he wants a pony of his own.  Boy, being a baby is no fun!  Can't play with toys or ride a pony.

 

I sure love being a big brother, and I really love my baby brother.  I'm gonna keep him safe cuz he's so tiny, and he's just so darn purdy too.  I love him so much-Little Joe- my baby brother !!!!
