=garrets first days=

===it was a bueatiful may day. alexa and I were having fun playing on our swing set. laughing, talking, not having a care, when an important message was sent to my mom. "alexa, alayna, there is someone I maamaa and papa want you to meet." Alexa and I had know idea of what was happening or what we would see. I know now that it would be a day filled with love, care and exitment.=== ===later at the hospital, i found out that i had a new baby cousin. I remeber when my uncle told me his name, garrett. my new baby cousin was garrett. I looked down at garrett and had to smile. garrett had seen the world today. "hi garrett." i whispered. i was only 5 so I didn't know what to think! i remeber that I was so excited, i was about to bounce off the walls!! I remeber watching garrett be put into my arms when i was sitting down. john, my uncle, held garrett's head and under him just in case. I gave garrett a little kiss on the forehead and let my uncle hold his him.=== ===that day i was thinking, 'wow the first boy grandchild. maamaa and papas first boy grandchild' I was little. I thought garrett would be a darling and be polite, like girls. Of course i would have to get that idea out of my head when garrett started walking. now, that there is a boy, there is no more dressing up, no more make up, and no more dollys. now there are tractors, cars, toy animals and lots of other things. I would have to figure out that wans't the greatest having a boy cousin, but it wans't the worst either. But I remember in the hospital that day hearing faint baby crys and could hear poeples overjoyed talking. And I was just excited to play tea party with a new cousin.=== ===my other cousin, who was 3 stared at garrett in puzzlement. it was new to her then. she was an only child for 3 years. it changed. 2 kids now. now 4 grand kids. i felt nervous. like, what if something bad happens or well madison ajust fine with having garrett? i also felt love and exitment. i thought i will play with him every moment i see him and i will do any for him.=== ===now i understand. i can't be with him every mooment, but i still see him a lot. when we left the hospital, i was still overjoyed. one more cousin. garrett is my family and i am proud of that. now garrett is 4, almost 5. time goes to fast, but, he is always a kid at heart, always.I well alaways remeber when garrett was first put into my arms.===
