Chasing Chase

“Hurry, get Chase!” my mom squeals as my baby brother Chase crawls toward her exercise bike. I think to myself, “Chase is my most important responsibility."

I have to make sure he doesn’t get hurt because I love him.”

“You can’t have that!” I tell Chase when he gets my folder for school.

I take it and sit on it. My 9-month old brother still pulls on the folder with all his baby strength. He starts to cry so I let him have it. I did not want him to suck on any papers because his tooth might bite off a corner and then he would swallow it.

“Brandy, feed Chase,” my mom tells me. After I give him his bottle and cereal, I have to do the dirty work (the pee and poop diapers). Euuuuuu!)

I love to love Chase and watch him grow to be a little man. It brightens my day to see him smile like a star. His adorable face is “squeezable” and his soft hair is “rubbable”. His laugh is contagious.

My brother is special and I’m glad he is my most important responsibility.
