He leaped over the couch  with as much grace as a swan as he ran to protect his nose from his baby sister's "wonderfully scented" morning breath.

Andrea was a sweetheart, but upon waking, her breath could kill.

That is why Louis found himself diving under his bed as soon as he had reached his bedroom, effectively hiding and protecting himself from his four-year-old sister.

The said sister ran into the room, but could not locate her brother. This made her sad and halt her laughter. Tears swelled up in her eyes as Louis slowly crawled out from beneath the bed, and while on his stomach, pulled little Andrea down onto his chest. 

She instantly began laughing as Louis tickled the life out of her.

Fingers to armpits, and fingers to feet, he bravely fought off the breath monster, and in the process, made his baby sister happy again.

Eventually, the pair had to fuel themselves with breakfast. However, Andrea had other plans.

She grabbed her brother by his hand, and led him to the bathroom.

Louis could already sense what the girl had planned, so he let himself be led forward. Andrea liked pretending she was in charge of Louis, anyway.

The pair made it to the bathroom, and Andrea stood on her little toes to reach her toothbrush and opened the bottom drawer of the cabinet to reveal a small bottle of kid's toothpaste.

She pushed both items into her brother's face and pouted cutely while swaying left-to-right with her hands clasped together on her stomach. She giggled when her brother grinned and nodded, beginning to uncap the toothpaste and squirt some of the liquid onto the little brush he held.

He did the same with another toothbrush slightly larger in size, and another tube of toothpaste.

The pair brushed their teeth together, and made their way down to the kitchen. Though, they'll have to continue the act in another hour, they had fun and the breath monster was defeated!
