I like to think I'm a good aunt. I love all my nieces and nephews on Brian's side and my side. Today was my nephew Eric's 10th birthday and for some reason I felt extra sentimental. Maybe because my sister is in labor and about to have a baby and it is reminding me of when he was born. It was my first year at college and I missed my family a lot. I came home from school for Thanksgiving and got to hold Eric for the first time and I felt home. I love this little guy so much! In my head he still looks like this...
But he's this big guy now! And yet, he's still my sweet Eric. When he was little, he would want me to lay down with him and tell me all his worries and dreams while he drifted off to sleep. He still loves having me come in and talk to him before he goes to sleep when I visit. I love you kiddo and I hope I have a boy of my own as cool as you!
P.S. How much am I going to freak out when my own future kid turns 10, if I freak out this much about my nephew???!!!!
