Being an aunt is a feeling like no other; a love that cannot be explained. It is different from anything else; it's not like being a sibling or a cousin, it is very unique. Being an aunt is the greatest feeling I have ever felt. When my sister told me she was pregnant, I was so exited, because I was finally going to be an aunt! At that moment, I could have never guessed the love I would feel for this child. From the second I laid my eyes on him, I fell completely in love.
My nephew has me 100 percent wrapped around his adorable little finger. I would do absolutely anything in the world for him, and his smile brightens my day more than anything ever could.
Being away at school is so hard because I miss all the little things, like his first steps, and only get to see them through pictures, videos, and Facetime. Each day, he is developing his own little personality, and not being there to see him grow up is so hard. This weekend I got to visit him and just seeing his face made me so happy! I love spending any time with him that I possibly can.
Being an aunt also has its perks, for you and for them! You can spoil them completely and buy them all the toys that they want, even the annoying ones. If he wants that toy that's super loud and plays for hours, you get it, because you don't have to live with it, and it's what they want! Auntie is there to give them the stuff that Mommy won't, right?
So even if you are the crazy aunt, like me, you love this little child more than anyone could possibly imagine, and they love you too! Being an aunt is definitely the best feeling in the whole world, and I cannot wait to continue to watch my amazing nephew grow up.
