Today I had an extravaganza with the cutest little girl I've ever seen...My niece. Her birthday is in April but I decided to do a day for just me and her. I can't believe she'll be three!
First, we went to Discovery Gateway for about an hour and a half. She had a great time playing in the little ball play area and with the little toy bikes and cars the kids could ride in. I had my sister's camera with me to take tons of pictures but the batteries died right as I put the film in (I know, I know, I need to go digital). After that we went to Gymboree to get her some cool new sunglasses (because I was wearing mine). She was SO excited about going somewhere to get shoes! She's such a little diva. We went to Smith's Marketplace and got her a new skirt, shirt, and shoes. We decided that we needed to get Dylan a toy too so we got him an Iron man toy and Vangie got a Dora the Explorer phone. We met up with Dylan, Grandma, Grandpa, and Tyler at McDonald's so the kids could eat and play together before we went to our last (and spontaneous) stop of the day. We dropped Dylan back off at home and went to Cookie Cutters. We had them trim a little hair off the ends and give her some bangs (so her hair isn't always in her face) and got her a manicure. We had a great time!
I love spending time with my niece and nephew. I especially love knowing how much they love me. I feel so great knowing that they get excited to see me. I love that they run at me every time I come to see them. I enjoy seeing them smile from ear to ear after I've done something nice for them. Every time I bought Vangie something today she always said thank you. I love that she's my little clone. Everything I do she does, and everything I say she says. Just like the sunglasses. I put my sunglasses on so she had to. Its so cute! I love how possessive they are of me. They don't like sharing their Aunt Kyla with anyone else. It makes me smile. I guess I just feel bad that other people don't give them the attention or love they deserve. They are often over-looked and not thought about by people that should be thinking about them and caring about them. I don't understand how anyone could treat them the way that others have. I can't stand how unfair others are to them. It makes me so angry that others place them last in their lives...I guess I'm just an awesome aunt. I know I am because I'm their favorite :D I love MY niece and nephew.
