…of my brother. Shhhh! Keep your voice down! Yes, I know it is lovely, but I really don’t want it shouted from the rooftops. He is, after all, The Bug. He is cute and annoying in equal measure, and if he ever got wise to the fact that I care at all, he would use it against me at every opportunity!
“Mummy, GG is being mean to me…. Mummy, GG isn’t sharing….. Mummy, GG made me be Ken to her Barbie and she won’t let Ken shoot anything….” I mean honestly, you’d think he would finally get wise to the fact that I am older, and a girl, and that I am therefore in charge. It is non-negotiable!
The Bug bugs me. There, I said it. But he also cuddles me. He tells me he loves me. He shares his sweets with me willingly. He watches endless shows when I need an audience, and he lets me have Paparazzi before he gets Judas on the iPod. He is popular at school because he is just so easy-going, and I get a tear when I see him with his reception mates choosing his lunch. And don’t even think about pushing him around on the playground because I will take you down!
I am proud of him for all of this. But I am most proud because he has just learned to do this:
I wrote this for The Gallery at Sticky Fingers, where you can see other people’s pride.
I’m proud of the Bug too!
It is so embarrassing to have to admit isn’t it? But I reckon he is very proud of you too!
Awww, that’s so sweet.
And I have to say that, as someone who was a Reception teacher only a few months ago, The Bug’s writing his coming on very nicely indeed. Clever boy!
And I’m sure that Mummy is very proud of you for being so proud of your little brother.

Thank you Lucy – I shall be submitting more of his work to you for inspection as time goes on. Maybe it will even make it into a #funee post!
Sibling love, you can’t beat it! 🙂 xx
aww so sweet, my siblings bug me too
Aw! Sisterly love is a lovely thing xxx
Aaaahh gorgeous xx
It’s a struggle to be nice about a sibling isn’t it? But sometimes it just has to be done 🙂
Aww very sweet and well done Bug on the writing!
Well done the Bug. I see he’s writing about the important things in life 😉
Well you gotta provide some motivation!
Aww this is lovely. So sweet and you shouldn’t be embarrassed. x
I love both my brothers too and am proud of them but they bug
Me too too (but shhhh don’t tell them!)
I am nearly 30 and I still argue with my brother sometimes! He is a teenager though so is still quite annoying! It’s fun though 🙂 x
That is lovely. Little brothers are fab.
That is fantastic, and what brilliant writing. My little boy is also year R and I have a fab photo of his writing coming up too.
I hoe you both get what you want for Christmas. xx
I never ever showed my little brother that I was proud of him…but deep down I was all the way! well done you for admitting it
I suspect she would never say it to his face 😉
Your secret is safe with us but I can totally see why you are so proud of the Bug. I bet you taught him how to write like that too.
She is getting very keen on the fact that he is beginning to get his letters right – it is so sweet to see!
mwah! lovely XXX
Well done bug. Big sister should be proud of you for this!
So so cute – thanks for visiting me
xx
Oh that is such a lovely story of proper sibling love and hate! Great stuff, but he can write..that’s amazing, I would be a proud sister too if that were me! x
It’s lovely that you are proud of your little brother – I remember when I was younger I Would watch out for my little brother at school and get into fights protecting him!
I am now 38 and this week I posted my “something to be proud of” and it was my little brother who is now 36.
I hope you both have a great relationship together in the future and that you will always remain proud of your little brother.
I love that! Oh I so hope you are right!
