The Little Brother

Hugs on demand. Can you imagine having a sister that so willingly complies? And with such exuberance that at 5 months you could only be thinking, "One day, I'm going to squeeze you so hard your barrette's going to fall off." This is a little brother we're talking about, after all.

Not your everyday family reunion

It was the first time they met. Six families who had kids with the help of the same donor, came to NYC to bring these half brothers and sisters together. I overheard the parents talk about same noses and smiles. The expressions, the gestures, the way they moved. It was super cool. The best part was watching these former strangers take to each other like this outing had been one of many. Kids are pretty awesome that way.
