Autumn says when I walk in the store. She grabs my hand and leads me to Gavin, who is sitting in the other room.
"Gavy, again" she commands to Gavin.
Gavin smiles and hits himself on the head.
"Gavy again."
Hit.
"Again"
Hit.
This can go on for hours. What Gavin is really responding to is Autumn's laugh. Making Autumn laugh makes his day.
He just loves her. Often, in the car, he'll just stare at her while we're driving. If she permits a little hand holding, then he's even happier.
As a guy with a big sister, I know the feeling. Growing up, my big sister was always the coolest person in the room. I'm glad that Gavin gets to experience it. I'm not sure if a doting brother is something that eventually gets on a big sister's nerves, but Autumn handles it relatively well. It will be fun watching her figure it all out over the years.
