It’s been a long time since I updated this blog, in large part because I haven’t wanted to talk about how things were going, but I seem to have gotten into a better place lately and I have things to say again.
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.
Congratulations! I’m an auntie myself, now. My niece is three weeks old. I can’t wait until she gets to the giggling stage!
PS: It’s good to have you back. <3
Welcome to the wonderful world of being an Aunt. It is amazing and wonderful and gross and everything else rolled into one. So enjoy every moment. Because before long you wake up and they are 12 and hate everything. Trust me!
aww I did the same thing with my nephew the first time I got him to giggle!! Now he giggles all the time. What a cutie
He also gave me quite a diaper bomb one day… I think I would take pee over baby poo EVERYWHERE anyday
