The day Lyell Bone was born into the world and Paton Yewbeam, his uncle laid eyes on him, a bond was instantly formed.
"Look Paton, this is your nephew Lyell." Solange Yewbeam said softly to the young boy in her arms.
Paton, a boy not much older than five, pried himself away from his mother's arms and stood on his toes as he gaze at the young infant through the glass window.
"Oh!" Paton said quietly, eyes wide, clearly fascinated.
Baby Lyell had a head full of dark black hair and was wrapped tightly in a blue blanket.
"Isn't he adorable?" His mother sighed, remembering the days when her own five children were once this small too.
"He looks squishy!" Paton said matter-of-factly.
His mother laughed. "Yes, so you must be gentle with him. Now let's go inside the room and say hello to Baby Lyell and your sister Grizelda."
Once they entered the room, his mother spoke briefly to his eldest sister, Grizelda who was on bed rest. Paton did not know much about the birds and the bees. He was a smart boy but for all he knew Grizelda was once fat and was now skinny. Somewhere between those stages a baby came out. That was all Paton knew and that was all he cared to know at his age. Logic did not quite enter his mind about how the baby came out or how it was made.
As his mother chatted to his eldest sister, Paton walked over to the 'fish tank' that contained Baby Lyell. Up close Baby Lyell looked even squishier.
"Hullo." Paton said meekly to the baby.
Baby Lyell, who had not quite opened his eyes to world just yet, turned his head towards the gentle voice he heard. He squirmed a little and yawned, as if in reply.
"I'm Paton and I'm your uncle! Pleased to meet you." Paton grinned, quite pleased with the new title. There are not many four-year-olds-soon-to-be-five-year-olds with the title 'uncle'. Paton waited a bit for Lyell to respond but nothing happened. Paton's smile started to fade when suddenly Baby Lyell opened his eyes, gazed at his uncle and smiled. A friendship was formed almost instantly.
