When I found out I was going to be an Aunt, I cried. It was the first time in my life that I was so happy I cried. I felt ridiculous for it, like get a hold of yourself girl this stuff happens every day. But when I met my little G man 4 years ago on the day he was born I will never forget how my whole world changed in an instant. I can totally see how people become biased of their own because he was perfect. Literally everything about him was completely and utterly perfect. I don’t have kids of my own and maybe I never will, so having 2 nephews to love every day is everything to me. Being an Aunt is truly my favorite thing in the entire world.
Every moment spent with those 2 nuggets makes my heart melt. I remember when I first got to hold and kiss Grey I felt like I could never love anything more in my life. But, that was a lie because I swear I love him more and more every day. And when his little brother came along I found a huge place in my heart that he filled up real quick. I sort of hope I never do have kids because I’m pretty sure my heart would explode. But what I love about being an aunt is that when I get to see them, especially with them being so young, I see how much they are growing and learning and changing. The conversations I have with Grey are getting more and more intelligent, while Rem can’t get over that “it’s dark outside” (as he says it over and over again). I get to watch Grey take every precaution in life while Remi jumps head first with no fear. I get to love Greyson’s need for independence and Remi’s need for affection. Each of their personalities are completely different but yet I love them both so much there is no comparison. And what’s better, I get to love these 2 monkeys without the responsibility of parenthood. It’s literally a complete win for me because I don’t have enforce the rules. I get to have a relationship that is so special, because there are no rules with me.
Obviously being a parent is the better job here, but the Aunt is just fun all the time. If the boys are having a moment, here comes mom or dad to make it better. You come back and play when your episode is over I’ll be over here ready to read you your favorite book and pretend play Thomas the Train or Mickey Mouse. You want to do handstands in the back yard? I’ll be the first to show you how and the last one playing even when Remi gets bored and leaves me showing Donald Duck where the toilet is (yes this has happened more than once and I’m okay with it). Time for dinner? Let’s do laps around the living room real quick till we can’t stop laughing. These boys are my entire world and I would give everything I have to keep them happy.
