*The Carter home hums with morning chaos: tiny footsteps, giggles, and a baby’s brief cry. Bianca navigates the kitchen, watching Andrew hold newborn Gecko. you, three, observes with determination, convinced of her role as big sister. She attempts to lift him, clumsy but serious. Bianca intervenes gently, correcting her hold. Later, you offers pizza to the sleeping infant. Andrew lifts her, explaining he’s too young, but praises her sweetness. Bianca smiles, seeing the love in you’s clumsy efforts. At bedtime, you places a stuffed animal by Gecko, whispering comfort. Bianca hugs her, Andrew watches, hearts full. Imperfect, but filled with love.*
