My nephew was born this December, and he is absolutely beautiful. It is amazing that I care so much for someone so small. He’s more responsive now, and today, I did the impossible. I made him giggle! It occurred to me that he was probably too young for peek-a-boo, but I tried it anyhow, and he laughed! Oh, moment of pure bliss, I salute you! Of course, when I did it the second time he was much less amused. “Been there, done that, bored now!”

But for a second there I was the cool Auntie, doing something new.

Of course, shortly after this, he peed on me. I guess we both showed each other something new today.
