What it is like being an Aunt.
Aunt Fun!

My nephew – update

All honesty, I really don’t know what is up with him, but I do know a few things.

 

He has what is called baby Chron’s disease which is better then full on Chron’s disease.

He is healing

He has had an MRI today

And He could come home today.

 

I will let you know.

Eldest nephew

Well, I found out yesterday whet the doctor suspects my nephew has. He has been feeling poorly since New Years. Pale, dark circles around his eyes, having to use the restroom quite a bit. abdominal pain, and some nausea. He has gone to a few doctors and has had several test done, but last week he went to see a specialist.

The Doctor thinks he has Chron’s disease. So he will be getting a endoscopy and colonoscopy in April. I hope he is okay. Our Family has a history of colon cancer, so I am a bit worried.

 

The poor kid is only 8.

 

My nephew

Now sharing babysitting with my sister, I get to spend time with my eldest nephew while the other two are napping.

 

I try to keep him off the electronics. Life isn’t all about them. We have been coloring instead – which I find is really fun- and it has been nice.

 

It is nice spending time with him again. I used to babysit him 5 days a week for 8-10 hours a day back when he was two. So we have a special bond of which I hope will stay. Along with me being his favorite Aunt!

Babysitting Day- done

Wow!

I thought I would have time to update all week, but that ended up to not be true.

Babysitting went well.

Wednesday night my sister and I ended up cracking, but I think that helped us finish pretty strong.

We were able to do the everyday Patch the pirate, and they listened well for being an everyday thing. It helped that we made it a mini VBS. If they listened they would get the questions right… and if they got enough points they got a prize. The better they were the more points they got.

My sister and I were trying to teach them that listening and obeying has rewards.

We are happy at how it turned out!

Babysitting adventure Day-1

So today my sister and I started our babysit adventure.

We are taking care of the kids while their parents are on vacation. We will be having good amounts of fun!

Each afternoon the kids will sit down and listen to a Patch the Pirate. We will then ask them questions about the Patch Track, and then do a craft that has to do with the lesson.

We also have other crafts for extra fun!

My sister and I will be trying our hardest to stay their Aunts and not Parents. Meaning not soooo demanding, yet responsible.

 

I will keep you updated

Today was fun! Babysitting was okay, I do wish the kids obeyed more. My niece is only 4 and she is very hormonal. My Oldest nephew is becoming a know-it-all. My youngest nephew is still cute, though he can be a rascal sometimes.

Being an Aunt is super-duper fun! Playing, cuddling, and fighting to be the favorite Aunt!

My heart melts when the kids say I love you or you’re the best. And then the hugs eeee!

I have been an Aunt this coming May for 7 years! I have two wonderfully cute nephews and a beautiful niece.

Now, do they drive me crazy sometimes? Of course they are kids with lots of energy.

Now one thing I do do everyday is pray for them. And their parents. The Parents need God’s guidance in how to raise and handle their children. The kids need prayer to come to Christ and obey. My eldest nephew is learning the song “Obedience”. He does not fully understand what it all means. However I remember that as I sang it and listened to the words more, I began to understand what the song was saying. And now I can sing the song to remember how to spell Obedience.

Wow, it’s December!

The day that grandpa died my oldest nephew said that I couldn’t die. He didn’t mention anyone else… just me. He wouldn’t know what to do without me. 🙂 He would be crushed.

No pressure. Unfortunately I have no control on when I die. I can only not “help” it. With my nephew, I won’t try to leave anytime soon.
