Jessica, age 7. She lived in Atlanta.
One day, something very exciting
happened at Jessica's home. A brand
new baby boy came to stay.
"This is our new baby," everyone
said to Jessica. "His name is Alex."
Jessica could hardly believe it. "Wow!"
Jessica said out loud. "I'm Alex's big
sister! I wonder what this is going to be
like."
From that day on, Jessica began to
discover what it was like to have a new
baby brother in her family. The first
thing Jessica noticed was that everyone
seemed very happy. Jessica also
noticed that everyone seemed very busy.
neighbors who wanted to see Alex. There
were doctors and nurses too. They
wanted to have a look at him, just like
everyone else. They even had special
gadgets for listening to his heart, his lungs,
and all of the other things inside him.
Jessica wondered if Alex sometimes
just wanted to be left alone. Everyone
was always making such a fuss over him!
Actually, Jessica sometimes wished that
everyone would leave Alex alone.
"Maybe they should make a fuss about me
for a while," Jessica thought.
Sometimes, Alex was taken for a
walk. He was wrapped in a special little
blanket, and there was a special little
buggy for him to ride in. Wherever they
went, it was baby Alex that the people
wanted to see. "Oh, what rosy little
cheeks!" they would say. "And, what
pretty little eyes, and darling little fingers!"
"People sure do like babies," Jessica
thought to herself.
activity around Alex. Friends, relatives,
and neighbors were dropping in all of the
time. Everyone wanted to come for a
visit, and everyone wanted to see the
new baby.
Alex was very nice to look at, but
he wasn't able to talk, walk, or play! He
wasn't even able to sit up by himself.
There were only two things he could do!
He could sleep, and he could cry. Little
Alex was pretty good at sleeping, and he
was very good at crying.
Alex needed a lot of attention. He
had to be washed in warm, soapy water;
the water had to be just warm enough
and just soapy enough. He had to be
dried with a soft, fluffy towel; the towel
had to be just soft enough and just fluffy
enough. He had to be dressed in special
clothes and fed special food. Everyone
had to be very quiet, so that little Alex
could get to sleep
