The Jan Brady Syndrome

Big D circling the sun four times!


In honor of my middle child, who is celebrating his fourth birthday today:

Top 10 Reasons Why it Sucks to Be the Middle Child

10)Hand me downs from an older brother with an entirely different style asthetic

9) After every statement you make, your older brother begins with, "actually."

8) No one notices how freaking awesome you are because your older brother is casting such a big shadow over you.

7) No one notices how freaking awesome you are because they're so busy doting on your baby brother.

6) Being "old enough to know better" but too young to stop yourself.

5) Never having had a single day in your life when Mama and Papa weren't preoccupied with thoughts of your older brother.

4) Adoring an older brother who doesn't always want you around.

3) Being adored by a younger brother who you don't always want around.

2) Being the second to do everything.

1) A-Train, A-Train, A-Train!


But the number one best thing about being the middle child is knowing in your heart that you are Mama's favorite!
