Oh, Michael and I LOVE being uncle and aunts to so many nieces and nephews within our own families. And we so enjoy and love being called uncle and aunt to so many of our friend's kids. I feel so blessed, truly since we have not been able to have our own kids so far. I am such a kid lover and such a kid myself that I so enjoy their company, their laughter, their innocence, their amazing questions and memories of stories, and of course that baby smell!!! That itself is the closest thing to heaven for me.
Kids just keep you young, on your toes and rolling on the floor from laughter. Though most of my nieces and nephews are no longer babies, infants, toddlers, I still greatly enjoy them and love to see the look on their faces when I say something they are not expecting from their 37 year old aunt, as well as enjoy seeing how each of them is becoming their own being. There are definitely a few surprises in how they are growing up. I hope never to lose connection with any of them and always be there for them in some way that will be encouraging and/or supportive. They truly are the love of my life aside from my husband. I always look forward to my time with them. That's why I sit at the kids table with them. Adults are boring and kids, well they are just kids, in all their wonderful, wacky and nonsensical ways.
So, with each new child born into my life via my own siblings or my friends, I will always love, adore and enjoy their beautiful presence in my life. God has blessed me with the love of kids. That's why I'm still a kid. Woohoo!!!
