After dinner and playing basketball with the G-child and Adam (plus the girls), the little ones had reached sleepytime. I was lucky enough to get to read them a bedtime story, then I tucked them into bed. Breezy let me give her a kiss and responded with "I love you" after I said it first. Zonks hid under her covers to avoid a kiss and didn't say anything.
Thanks, Adam & Linds, for letting me have that special moment while I'm home on vacation.
And when I got this text message today from Linds, I melted.
Hey! [Breezy] woke up this morning and started crying because she "lost uncle Aaron." My reply... he went back to Grammy's. [Zonks'] response, and this was a doozy, "He should remain (yes... she used this word) with us."Breezy, you'll never lose me. Zonks, hopefully someday I can accept your offer, and see you, your sister, and brother a lot more often.
I sure do love being an uncle, especially to the G-child, Breezy, and Zonks.
being an aunt/uncle is the best. i mean, i guess being a parent might be even better since you get to have these moments all the time, but as an aunt/uncle you just get to see the sweet and heart-melting stuff. when the tantrums kick in, you can say "um...need anything at Trader Joes while i'm out?" :)
ReplyDeletei miss my nephews and nieces terrible now that we have moved away.
Yep, it's the best of all worlds!
DeleteWe really do have the best nephew and nieces in the galaxy. I am super jealous that Breezy let you kiss her -- you should know that's a pretty rare thing!
ReplyDelete(Also, I love that you have adopted these monikers for them... I just hope we both use them for the same girls!)
Sounds like a great night! More to come!!!!
Now I feel even better about the Breezy kiss.
DeleteAnd isn't that what Adam & Linds call them in their blog (which they never update)? That's why I went with those names.
