Some of the biggest jumps in Alex's development was after he too became a
big brother. We used to joke that Molly was the best therapy for Alex.  LOL

Seriously, he didn't want to be left in the dust by 'the baby'. As such,
Molly pushed him to improve verbally, physically and to take more chances.
It really was something to see.  :0)
