Cuatro
Posted By Kristabella on October 12, 2009
Today is my favorite niece’s fourth birthday. I can’t believe this little girl is now four! She’s gotten so big over the years! Funny how that happens!
We got together on Saturday to help Skyler and my grandma (whose birthday is the 18th) celebrate their special days.
She took the job of blowing out the candles VERY seriously.
I’ve written to Skyler before on her second and third birthdays. I don’t think anyone who has read this blog with any frequency would not realize that Skyler is my most favorite person in the world.
I usually go up to my brother’s house by myself to spend time with the kids and my brother and sister-in-law. This is generally a purely selfish act. I don’t like to share. I don’t like to have to share my play time with Skyler with other people. And I mean, look at her, she’s so damn adorable and FUNNY, EVERYONE wants to spend time with her.
But I don’t have those worries anymore. Because even in a house full of people, people giving her candy and gifts, she still wants to play with her Auntie. She asks me to play Barbies with her or hide and seek or to climb on me like I’m a jungle gym and then giggle uncontrollably. She’s as comfortable with me as she is with her own parents. And that makes my heart smile.
Words are my thing. I’m most comfortable expressing myself though writing. And yet, I have the hardest time putting into words how much I love Skyler. Which is fine. Because she knows it. She knows I love her so much that I’d do anything for her. And all that matters to me is that when she comes into a room and sees her Auntie, her smile is just as big as mine.
Happy 4th birthday to the best little niece anyone could ask for!
Love,
Auntie
