I'm going to be an Aunt

[Janet]

Congratulations!!! How wonderful. I became an Aunt when I was two years old, so I don't remember that of course, but when my brother had my neice...what a feeling. She's still my favorite little girl at 32 years old.

It's great to be an Aunt! You get to really spoil them and you can hang out with the children, take them fun places, and just enjoy them!

Congratulations!

You're right and then get in trouble. When my niece was little I would have her out and we would bake all kinds of stuff. She had a ball, flour on the floor crumbs on the floor what a mess. Then I got in trouble by my sister-in-law. She wanted me to stop, because Teressa was wanting to do that at home and she didn't want to clean up the mess off the floor. I was very upset over this because she had linoleum just like me and it cleans up!!

Oh and by the way....we kept right on baking!!

Aunt trouble is to be expected! No, Grandma trouble is different - you do have to be careful. It is sometimes a thin wire you're walking.

Aunts, on the other hand, are expected to be "cool."

I'm so happy for you! My oldest daughter and her hubby waited 10 years until they had a baby. I remember how excited my other two daughters were to finally become aunts. Of course "Olivia" is 7 now, and she thinks her aunts are the best.
When Olivia was learning to talk she called her Aunt Nikki, KiKi which just melted Nikki's heart. She called her Aunt Krissy, Kissy. They still go overboard on gifts for her, but that's an aunts perogative.
Oh, by the way, I'm Kathy, , nice to meet you. I'm new here!

Kathy,

You're not new anymore! You jumped right in and now you've pretty much become one of us.

It surely didn't take you long!

I don't know how often I'll see it since they don't live here, but I am super excited. I love to buy toys. I am such a child at heart. Before too long I might have one of my own (not preggers, just thinking about it) & then they'd be close to the same age & can play together at family things. It'll be need.
