You're going to be a big brother!

Dear Chicken Nugget,

The more active and talkative you've become, the less I feel the need to write to you. I can now talk to you and, for the most part, it seems your understand. Thought sometimes you prefer to show me a cool dance move instead of listening to papi's serious attempt at conversation.

Still, this is pretty important.

You're going to be a big brother!

Our family of three will be a family of four this November. And, while your mami and I can't wait to meet the new baby, we also are cherishing every minute we have with you as our baby.

In a few months you will experience something I never did, having to share the attention of your family. It's going to be hard and, to be honest, mami and I have our concerns but we also know that you will grow into it and that you're going to be a pretty great big brother.

In the morning when you wake up, you've been rolling over to mami and kissing her belly, saying hello to the baby. And, you've been saying things like, "When the baby come out I will teach it about papi's school." Overall, it seems, you're getting as excited as we are.

There's much work to be done. There's lots of one-on-one time to be spent and some cleaning and rearranging that I'm sure mami wants to get done. But, it will.

For now, we wait patiently and enjoy our first baby as much as we can. Even when we call you a big boy and even when you act like one, you will always be our baby and we will always love you as much as we did when we first met you.

Te quiero siempre,

Papi
