There are days when I can't get enough of Olive and these past few days were those days. She was just adorable in her Cinco de Mayo dress. She is the epitome of perfection(in my eyes). Today, we sat and watched Toy Story 3. She sat on the floor with her water and cheddar bunnies while I laid behind her with my arm wrapped around her waist. It was a beauty to lay there and just relax with her. She let me massage her cute andouilles aka her toes. We sat there forever, Me with my arms around her just absorbing all her cuteness, her smiling as woody and buzz try to get back to Andy. It was pure perfection. Its hard to think, that someday, faraway, she will be an adult and our time like this will be a thing of the past. That's why the ending to toy story made me tear up. Spoiler: the gang sits there and waves goodbye to Andy as he drives off on his way to college. I realize that is going to be me someday. I will stand there and wave to her while she drives off to start her new adventure.
So I laid there with my eyes close, just feeling her breathe. I don't know of any auntie that has had this experience and maybe I am just one of the lucky few. I thank my sister and brother in law for this opportunity. For the opportunity of watching a newborn become an infant and then a toddler and so on.
So it's times like these that make me realize how much I love being an auntie to the little girl that sits there so sweetly and let's you cuddle...and also to the little girl who yells at you for not giving her the watermelon...it's love
