It is all the fun of having a kid, but with less responsibilities

You get all the fun stuff like playing and give them loads of sugar, but when it’s time for a diaper change it’s time to say hi to mommy for a little bit.

They think you are hilarious

...as if nobody else thinks this.

They are also hilarious

My nephew never fails to make me laugh up with the things he says.

You can always count on snuggles and good hugs

But usually only after all the constant running around has gotten the best of both of us.

There is always an adorable picture to show off

“Oh my gosh, look at how cute my nephew is in his new outfit” is something I say way too often.

You know someone is looking up to you

Aka you hear “careful, little ears around you.” Knowing that you are a role model for someone is honestly one of the best feelings.

They teach you things, too

I didn’t realize a two year old could be so smart, but dang, I’ve learned so much.

You have an excuse to do fun kid things without being judged

Like, yeah I’m 20, but I wanna go to the park or watch disney movies all day so let’s do it.
