Lucca never realized how difficult it was to be a big brother until he was left to watch Yosh and Andy before bedtime.
“Baba?” asked Andy as he lost hold of the milk-filled bottle.
“Here,” said Lucca as he picked up the bottle, positioned the nipple in front of the follie’s mouth, and waited for him to take hold of it with his hands so that he could finish nursing on it by himself.
“Want to hear a story?” asked Yosh with a big smile on his beak. “I know a lot of stories. I bet you’d love a story about lions. Hmm. I don’t know stories about lions.”
Lucca turned his attention away from Andy over to Yosh. “Why don’t you finish your juice?” he suggested while handing the dino-duckling his sippy cup.
THA-THUMP
“Baba?” wondered Andy as he, again, dropped his bottle. “Baba?”
Lucca, who was a yellow lion in red pajamas, went to work at retrieving Andy’s bottle.
THUNK
“Lucca!” Yosh, who was wearing a yellow onesie with a duckling pictured on it, proclaimed while allowing his sippy cup to fall from his hands. “Do you like ducks? I know a lot of stories about ducks. I also know a lot of stories about dinosaurs, too, and-”
SPOP
Lucca, who was getting annoyed at all of Yosh’s quacking as she tried to help Andy with his bottle, took hold of a pacifier that was sitting on the rainbow colored blanket they were sitting on and shoved it into Yosh’s beak.
THUK-THUK-THUK THUK-THUK THUK THUK
Yosh’s eyelids began to droop as the pacifier worked to calm the overexcited dino-duckling.
“Better,” sighed Lucca as he took the opportunity to provide Andy, who was wearing a mint colored onesie with pink trim, his bottle.
THA-THUMP-THUMP
“Baba?” wondered Andy as he, yet again, lost hold of his bottle.
SPOP
Yosh removed the pacifier from his mouth. “You tell bedtime story?” he asked with a yawn. “I bet you tell good bedtime stories and-”
SPOP!
“No story!” roared Lucca as he placed the pacifier back into Yosh’s beak and firmly put a hand on his shoulder and pushed him down towards the pillows.
THUK-THUK
Yosh suckled on the pacifier as he playfully reached for his feet to regain some balance.
SLIP-SLIP SPOP
Using a single hand, as his other was still working to get Yosh to lie down on the pillows, Lucca wiggled the nipple of the bottle in front of Andy’s mouth until he latched onto it.
“…,” Lucca sighed as he realized that he wouldn’t be getting any sleep until he got both Yosh and Andy to fall asleep first. Lucca never realized how difficult it was to be a big brother until he was left to watch Yosh and Andy before bedtime.
