I know I said I wasn’t gonna keep doing this, but I can’t help it. Sue me! No, don’t, I spend enough time in court as it is.
I got this photo text message yesterday from Nikki, who is apparently keeping me informed as to the ins and outs of herself and her little sister, Erin:
The photo came with the following message: “Erin got a bruse in school” (don’t you love kid-spellings?)
After some more communication with Nikki, I learned that Erin had gotten the scrape when she tripped in school. Looking at the adorable pout in the photo, as much as I feel pain for the little one’s boo-boo, I smiled imagining Nikki saying, “Stick your arm up, Erin, I’m gonna take a picture of this and send it to Aunt Cindy,” and Erin abiding piteously.
Awwww,,,,makes you wanna rub some neosporin on the little gal and tell what a bad, bad floor that was to hurt her. Adorable pout.
So it’s NOT just me! =)
Yup, I get the same way when I spend time with Jayla, I just want to share all the things she does with everyone. Then I think, can you imagine if I ever have my own kid? I’ll be one of those (annoying) parents who only talks about their kid.
But glad you are bonding with your nieces and they have such loving support around them!
I can’t believe how I can’t shut up about them sometimes. But even given that, I still can’t picture me as a mom. =P I can’t tell if I’d be one of those annoying can’t-shut-up-about-her-kid moms. That reminds me of a lunch experience with 2 coworkers. I watched them have what appeared to be a conversation with each other over lunch, but what it really was, was them taking turns talking about their own kid. The two conversations didn’t even seem cohesive with each other, except that the commonality is that it’s kid-related.
