My sister is the greatest...but it's the worse that she lives in another state. So when she's here I selfishly want all of her time! But we have other family that wants to see her too. I actually kind of feel bad for her when she comes here - there isn't one minute of rest unless we sneak into a spa to get a quick pedicure. She is pulled in 20 different directions trying to please me, my mom, my brother and don't forget about her own husband and kids!
She is so giving, thoughtful and loving. And she is the best Aunt!! My kids ADORE her but this one has a special place in her heart i think. When he was little, we were so excited when he started talking and we would go around the room and say "who is this?" just to hear him say our names. When we got to my sister and said "who is this?" he replied, "mine"...she has since been Aunt Mine to all my kids. It's a perfect name for her really because they really are all hers - consumed by her - when she's with them.
Numero Uno got a fun surprise when he went to lunch on Friday! Aunt Mine, cousin Will and baby girl were there to eat with him! My sweet child turned all red (I think from shock, excitement and embarrassment?) but he played it cool in front of his friends. Almost too cool - is he really at the age of being too cool? Aunt Mine was concerned the rose had fallen off the vine but I totally disagree - he's still smitten even if he can't show it in front of his friends!
