Dear Oliver, this is Daddy and ME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!See a pattern?
Well, my little brother Oliver is not too far away as we enter this Memorial Day weekend. As I look at my calender, it appears he will be here in just 15 weeks. I thought it would be best if I posted some of my newborn photos up here today along with a few ground rules for the new guy on campus!
1. I am the senior sibling! Questions?
2. I hold every right to assault you without reason.
3. Sharing? Right, get over it. It was mine to begin with and now your "borrowing it."
4. Food- I have the first right of refusal on all food items
5. You will change my diapers on command, no questions asked.
6. Mommy and Daddy are on my side.
7. You're in my world now O-Dawg
8. Finally, an article that was printed in the New York Times
Oldest Kids Take Lead in Sibling Rivalry – Big siblings have long suspected it, and now science backs them up: Oldest children have slightly higher IQs than younger kids. Family dynamics, not biological factors, account for the 3-point discrepancy, which holds up for children who become the oldest after the firstborn dies. That tiny gap may mean the difference between a "name" college and a state school.
Oldest kids don't just get more parental attention—they benefit from mentoring younger siblings. Researchers looked at records for Norwegian men and say the results, which appear today in the journal Science, likely extend to women. The sample, of more than 240,000 men, was large enough to be significant, the Times reports; one psychologist calls it "a dream come true."Source: New York Times

I think this says it all. See ya in 15 weeks!
Love,
Your Big Brother Graham
P.S.- At least you're not a chick! We would really have issues then!
