I have four, adventure-loving nephews that I love completely. They let me love on them with cuddles, hugs and kisses when they were/are young. They continue to let me love on them with hugs as they get older, so long as I keep it on the down-low and where no one but family can see. You gotta respect their game if you're going to get hugs.
Nothing totally prepared me for having a niece. Maybe it's because I have daughters that I have a different type of bond with her or maybe it's because she's personality plus, like my Zoe. There is something about H-J that I can't get enough of. Maybe it's this face:
In the last 4 days I've chatted with her on the phone a couple times. There is nothing more precious than atting on the phone with a 9 month old who is a talker. I rarely get a word in at all. I'm not 100% sure I know what she's saying, I think it's something along the lines of, "how do I walk? Zoe tried to teach me when you were here, but I've forgotten. Mommy is a little nervous about me being totally mobile, so give me some tips Aunt Kelly. I need to get this down." Then she smooches the phone before she's off for her next walking attempt.
Whlie I'm on the phone with her, Zoe comes over, "is that H-J? Is she coming over today because I'd like to play with her."
It's safe to say I'm not the only one who is smitten.
