I am a proud Auntie of two little nephews who, as I FaceTime with my sister, offer laughs GALORE. I giggle about their antics even as I write this...
I ask my nephew Gary, "I hear you like to play Lego's with your brother?"
"Yeah, and train tracks, and trains, and freight cars too!"
Gary wanted to show me the Christmas tree he "helped" decorate. He begins pulling all the ornaments off the tree and showing them to me, telling me what they are and that he, "likes this one."
Occasionally he'd pull one off, show it to me, and say, "This one is... Mom, what's this one?"
Hunter joined in the action and would tap the phone with the ornament making little, "Eh, Uh, Eh" noises.
One time his klutzy, adorable little self fell as he reached for one, taking in a mouthful of Christmas tree. Mel giggled as she literally pulled pine needles out of his mouth. He honestly didn't seem to mind.
The Christmas tree was being stripped bare, until Mel finally had to tell them that I'd seen enough ornaments. Mel's smart. She commented later that all the breakable ornaments were strategically located at the top of the tree, making them untouchable for little fingers.
After the boys finished showing off their tree, my sister and I sat down for a conversation about everything, but nothing in particular. In the middle of the conversation my sister yelled, "Ow! Stop biting my knee!"
And, "Boys! The couch is NOT your chew toy!"
Then she looked at me and said, "This is my life."
What a life. I love every minute of being a small part of it. I still laugh out loud. Never a dull moment in their household!
