No one can love being an aunt as much as I do. Seriously, its the best job on the planet. I get to hang out, be buddy buddy with my nephews and they LOVE me! I was putting the kids to bed the other day and Kate has this great routine of having the kids give everyone a hug and a kiss before they go off to sleep (awesome, except for when they are sick... and even if they're not sick... they are little hotels for all sorts of flu bugs), I was up giving Tyler a kiss and told him I loved him, I'm sure I've said it before, but I must have been especially fun that day because right away he says "I love you more than a circle Aunt Jenna," Hello, how awesome is that!
It's just so fun to hang out with those boys. Today we were pretending to be bugs splatting against a couch cushion, who else could you do that with? I got two giggly boys throwing themselves at the cushion (which is hilarious), but the funniest part is when I do the splatting, they think that is the bees knees and of course I keep doing it until my face is red because I cannot let that laughter stop (its the curse of children's laughter, you are required to keep it going as long as possible, I'm not sure what the consequences might be if it stops, but you have to keep it going).
Kate's also got Chase doing this really adorable thing. He is such a loveable cuddly little guy and he will sit in your lap or snuggle into your side just because, but if you catch him at the right moment he will give you a kiss just because you ask him to. Kate was saying her cheek was hurting and Chase will ask "why?" and she answers "I don't know, but will you kiss it better?" of course he does and keeps doing it until she "feels" better. I thought I would try this out today, Chase first gave me a couple kisses and then he takes my face in his hands gives it a good look and says you have an owie (a zit) and he trys to kiss it away, if only.
As you can see I LOVE my nephews probably as much or more than they love me, but they make me laugh and they melt my heart.
