My son Heath loves his big brother. Granted they don’t always get along, but Heath desperately wants to do everything Cedric does. This started from a
very young age when he attempted jumping off the couch with not-so-successful results. A good number of his bumps and bruises are because of this need to imitate.
I am sure this is typical of younger siblings but it is very interesting to see Heath try to be like his big brother. I am also amazed at how observant he is. I take him with me to
Cedric’s karate class and he watches Cedric and the other kids on the mat. He even joins in from the sidelines and knows many of the stances.
Same with baseball. I am helping coach Cedric’s T-Ball team and Heath comes along and watches. The other day he got in line with the other boys to take his turn hitting the ball.
I think being 3 is hard for any kid, but I think being 3 with an older brother is even harder.
