For Those Who Are NOT 1st Born!

I love to see these photographs because they reflect the perfect relationship between the 1st and 2nd kids. They are only 15 months apart. This means when Mizuki was born, Masatsugu was still baby. So they grew pretty much together as babies to boys. But since Mizuki has seen how his big brother behaves, he became a quick learner. Mizuki started to talk when he was only 12 months old and by the time when he was 15 months, he was pretty much able to make conversation with us like making sentences and jokes. He actually does anything better and faster than Masatsugu.

I have 6 brothers and 2 sisters in my family, and I'm a 2nd boy (born 3rd). I was, like Mizuki, became a quick learner by watching my older siblings. I won't say I can do anything better than they can, though, I was fortunate to have them as my EXPERIMENT in my early age.

So for those who are NOT 1st born in your family, you are lucky. Don't be discouraged because you don't have as many pictures, new clothes, congrats at birth as your older brother/sister has, . You were and will be always the 2nd kid in your family, but you are the BEST No.2!
