My Brother, Alex

My younger brother, Alex, is eight years old. He is going to be in third grade when school starts. Alex can be a good brother, but sometimes, he is really annoying. My brother likes to do most things that I do that aren’t too difficult for him. One of things he like to do is playing the piano. My brother started the piano in second grade. He isn’t as good as I was when I was his age though. He doesn’t practice that much since it is summertime, but he is going to have to practice soon because school is starting again soon and that means that he is going to resume his piano lessons. My brother likes riding bikes. He usually rides with me because it is more fun riding with another person than riding alone. My brother is allergic to many things: peanuts, fish, kiwi, egg, and maybe some other things he has never tried before. He also has eczema. Eczema is a skin irritation. Eczema looks like a rash and appears when my brother itches a lot. It goes away once he doesn’t itch it. Sometimes, his eczema is on the verge of going away, and then he itches again and it comes back. He usually itches on hot days and at times when he’s sweating, so summer is not a good season for him.
