What do I say about my nephew? He is the best thing that has happened to me. Living in the house currently with my mom, stepdad, sister and this baby is tight and stressful at times, but I love that I have a hand in raising this little person. He knows who I am, knows my voice in the dark, gives the best snuggles and kisses, makes me laugh when I am having a rough day and has the best facial expressions. Is it trying at times, yep.
Last week Saturday, he decided that he was going to be up from 8am-12:30am with only an hour and a half nap all day. There are times when he just cries and can only say a few things, so you have to decipher creatively what the deal is, but I still wouldn’t fast forward this time for the world.
Last night, “Party Baby” as I call him when he decides that 1am is perfect to be up, had a mini sleep over with Aunt Amber. We tried rocking, but in the end I just threw him in bed with me. He flops around so much, and would have preferred watching cartoons all night, but we did get some sleep between 2:30a and 6am. Just waking up to his blonde hair and blue eyes, kisses and snuggles, it melts my heart.
I know I am only his aunt, but I love this little boy more than anything in the world. I would be lost without him, would do anything to make him laugh, and I sure as hell don’t mind the 4am snuggles and rocking him back to sleep. Sure I do my share of spoiling… candy, cookies, toys galore… it’s part of my job…
He’s absolutely perfect…
