This is how Nicolas greets Sky everyday after school. First of all, he calls her name the entire drive to school. When we park he's so excited he can barely wait to be freed from his carseat. Once we're in the building he makes a beeline to her classroom and finds her among her classmates. Sky in turn gives him her undivided attention (mom can wait). She takes his hand and leads him to her cubby where she picks up her backpack and coat. Sometimes she pulls out the remainder of her snack and gives him a bite. Once we're out of her classroom she follows him around in the halls while I look for Aiden. Nick's always happy to see his brother too but he keeps his distance...at that hour Aiden is pretty active with his buddies and could easily plow him over with a drive by kiss or hug. Since Nicolas loves spending time at the school, I usually take him over the main gym where he joins other kids (along with Aiden) to play basketball or soccer with Sky protectively hovering over him to make sure he doesn't get his by a stray ball.
...I've always wished I had an older sister or brother...
