Decked out in a Princess Sofia dress, Sadie wraps her arm around her little brother Carson, kisses his head, and says at one point, “He’s so cute, and I don’t wanna die when I’m a hundred!” Her brother just smiles, clearly amused by it all and loving the attention. “She’s cried about not wanting to get older herself in the past, but this was the first time she was upset about her brother,” her father Ryan Miller said in an email statement provided by his brother Alex Miller, who uploaded the video to YouTube. “The funny thing is that this was totally out of the blue — we have no idea what prompted it.” And to show you how devoted Sadie is to Carson, here’s a photo of the girl reading to him:  Courtesy of Alex Miller **WATCH:** [The Top Moms of YouTube](http://time.com/92616/the-moms-of-youtube/) **WATCH:** [Dad and Daughter Dance to Ariana Grande’s “Problem”](Watch%20a Little Girl and Her Dad Dance to Ariana Grande’s “Problem”) **WATCH:** [Little Girl Breaks Down When Her Parents Surprise Her With a Puppy](Little%20Girl Breaks Down Crying When Her Parents Surprise Her With a Puppy) ```json [{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"NewsArticle","@id":"https://time.com/3054332/big-sister-baby-brother-grow-up/","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://time.com/3054332/big-sister-baby-brother-grow-up/"},"headline":"Adorable 5 Year Old Really Doesn't Want Her Baby Brother to Grow Up","datePublished":"2014-07-29T21:37:18.000Z","dateModified":"2026-05-11T04:48:31.888Z","description":"\"I don't wanna die when I'm a hundred!\"","url":"https://time.com/3054332/big-sister-baby-brother-grow-up/","keywords":["Newsfeed","viral"],"thumbnailUrl":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/blt1d67b32e5b0765d1/69869db91eebf7b401372114/sadiecarson-sleeping1.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","author":[{"@type":"Person","name":"Olivia B.
