There are few bonds that compare to the auntie and niece duo. Here are 7 things that show that relationship...

1. Shopping for your niece

Whether your niece is with you or not, you always find yourself in the kids section shopping for cute dresses or matching outfits.

2.Sharing your food happens too often

It doesn't matter what you're eating or how little you have, that little person beside you has to have a piece off of your plate. It doesn't matter that she wasn't hungry 5 minutes ago.

3.Repetitive movie watching

It may be the 8,000th time you've seen Despicable Me, but you'd watch it again to lay on the couch with the little one. Musicals are stuck in your head, but so are the memories.

4.Play dates are your favorite

It may be hot outside, but your favorite activity is taking her to play at the park. Swimming in the sunshine is so much better with a little human.

5.Slumber parties!!!

Your niece's bedtime may be 9:00 pm, but who's going to notice if you're making shadow puppets at 10? Bedtime does not exist to an awesome aunt.

6.Your friends are her friends

Your niece loves everyone you bring around. You may be the best aunt in the world, but you can always be pushed aside for the new friend.

7. Selfies ALWAYS

Between all the ice cream dates and slumber parties, the have to be documented. Dog filters and silly faces are going to be the memories held forever of you and your favorite mini-me.

There are best friends, but then there are nieces. They come into our lives and steal our hearts, but we're totally okay with them keeping it.
