Ohmigoodness!

You were able to keep one child entertained for an ENTIRE evening?

Wow. Very few parents could do that.

Now try doing it 365 nights a year, plus days, after going through labor and at least 1 1/2 years of sleeping in 2 hour shifts.

LOL! I agree! I'm just an awesome aunt/babysitter but when I have kids of my own I know things will be totally different!

Don't worry about the hostile comments on here brit. Some folks are freakishly sensitive on here...there was nothing offensive about your post. I thought it was cute...although it is different when the little tykes are with you 24/7/365 :-)

Brit2318,

It is always great to have a fun aunt. Kids need aunt's like you. There are some days that I am just too tired to even want to read them a story. Trust me when I say you sibling VERY much appreciates you entertaining her daughter. Good for you!

As a parent, I thank-you for being such an awesome aunt. I am sure that the parents greatly appreciated their time away.

And I can top that... four kids against Dad... Nerf guns all around...it's kinda like hide-and-seek and laughing until we couldn't breath. Try it, it's a BLAST! Kinda like squirt guns but without the cleaning up after.
