I love my four- year- old niece, Jade. I have to celebrate her with a thread. She spent the night at my house last night and she is just so cute when she first wakes up and her hair is all fuzzy. I swear, maybe it's because she is my niece, but she is probably the most beautiful child I've ever seen. You know how you can just look at a child and tell that when they grow up they are going to be this really attractive person? She's just so beautiful to me. Her mother left when she was still in diapers, but now comes to visit her about once every two or three months. Long story there. My brother has total custody. This child is so smart that I continue to find myself in shock from all the intelligent things she says on a regular basis. She is so funny with some of the stuff she says and has no idea she is even being funny. She has the bluest eyes and light, almost blonde hair. I'm pretty sure she got that from me, since both her parents have hair that is almost black and they both have dark eyes. My mom has brown eyes too, but my dad has blues eyes, which is where I got it from. I wish I had the plug to my digital camera so I could post pictures and be a big old bragger.LOL. Ok, you guys have to brag about your chillins here. It's mandatory...or brag about your nieces, nephews, any kid you just think is the greatest.
Kids are great, until they get spoiled. That's the worst thing you can ever do to a child. I have a 2 year old niece, Christiana.
I'm famous for spoiling my niece. I know it's wrong. I don't spoil her with big things, but I do buy her lots of small toys and bring her candy all the time. When I go to the grocery store, I pick up a few of those toys on cards, like little nurse kits, or a bag of plastic dinosaurs, handcuffs,water guns, cheap one dollar stuff. It's all just minor junk. I do buy her actual toys, but I usually only buy those for birthdays or Christmas. Sometimes, just for the heck of it, I will buy her a big toy.
Im spoiled, when i was a kid everytime my mother took me to the store she bought me something. If i didn't get what i wanted i would scream real loud and she would give it too me.
One of the coolest people I know is an eleven year old girl named Shawna. She's the grandaughter of an old hippie I hang out with sometimes. She is such a good kid and renews my faith in the fact the world will one day look bright again. She always has a hug for everyone she meets...unless they're on the sex offender registry (lol, she memorized all of them in town...sad, but I guess it's good how aware she is). She's a gorgeous kid, too, big blue eyes, auburn hair. She's like the little sister I never had.
I know, even at my ripe old age of 30, that I'm not exactly ready for kids of my own. I would need a man who also wants them, first before I decide I want to have them with anybody. My niece though, loves me pretty much like a mother. This kid wants to do everything I do, which makes me think about quitting smoking again for good. I want her to have a better life than I have had. My life hasn't been the worst in the world, but I want better for my niece some day. She and I are so much alike in the types of foods we like and the types of music we listen to. Sometimes, I will try to get her to try a certain food and she refuses because she thinks it looks gross to her. Then, she will taste it and next thing you know she is telling me to buy her some of it when I go to the store again. This kid likes the same kinds of sauces and spices and drinks that I do. I've pretty much learned that if I like a food, she will probably like the way it tastes too. She is like a mini me, only she is way cuter than I ever was at her age. I was dorky looking...still am.LOL.
That's wonderful SRG...you sound like a very loving aunt! I'm forever bragging about my three children, I have a 6 year old son and a set of 3 year old twins, both a son and a daughter, so I won't go gushing in this thread, because believe me, once you get me started, it's hard to stop! My kids are my pride and joy. But I will say that they are the best thing that could have ever happened to me, and I love them more than I thought humanly possible. I feel so grateful to have them in my life. I'm an aunt too, I have an almost 16 year old nephew, and a 3 month old nephew.
