Kiddos

This BLOG is dedicated to little kids :-) I love hanging out with my neices. I love when Emery calls me just to tell me that she scraped her knee when she was riding her bike. Or when Darby calls to ask if I'm going to take a bath or a shower. It's so SWEET and I feel like the best aunt ever!!! (Usually Abby doesn't know they call me but they think that my number is number 7) Or when Caskie comes to visit and Kaja comes for a girl's night spend the night and I make a deal with Camden to have just an Aunt Allee and Camden spend the night and his mom tells me that he's been telling everyone, "Next time I see Aunt Allee I get to have a spend the night, just her and me." Or when I visit them at Mamaw's house and we play like he's a bear and me and Kaja Mae have to fight him off. Their darling little kisses and their tight little hugs!!! Oh it is the BEST ever!!! I love being an aunt. No matter what I do, the next time I see them, they think I am something special and the make me FEEL that way!!! My heart goes out to people who don't realize what little kids can offer. I work with a place called LIFE and I get to work with two autistic boys. Without a doubt, they make me smile everyday. Whether they're asking for tickles or running away screaming, I know they love and trust me. Wow now that's alot of responsiblity!!!! I can't imagine being a parent and having that weight 24/7. I'm dedicating this post to my two handsome boys: Jackson and Tyler. They are so incredibly AWESOME and I love every second I get to spend with them. Jack and I watched Wall-E the other day and he leaned over and held my hand. He looked up at me with his beautifully handsome eyes and gave me a big ole smile. (But then he realized what he was doing and he IMMEDIATELY let go!!!!) Even though I'm just now getting to know Tyler I can feel how much he already trusts me. I felt so good the other day at the center when it was transition time and he was supposed to go with Melissa to get to work and he gave me a hug and called me by name. It's the small and simple things that are so AMAZING!!!! Anyways, I love little kids and the joy that they bring into the lives of many.
