You should have seen how excited he was playing with sparklers on the beach the other day! Yagen is always trying to be all grown up in front of the others though... [He sighs a little.] ... so he doesn’t like it when I pat his head in public. He’s much more accepting of it when we’re alone though. Anyway, he’s a good little brother and always helping me look after the others.
