This is Kiddo's favorite aunt, Aunt M. Aunt M pours love and affection into Kiddo, as only an aunt without kids can do (as my husband's cousin H said, watching her unmarried brother play with her kids, thank goodness for siblings without kids, who have the energy to play with mine).Since she was recovering from surgery, and we were spending time watching my brother get married off, we had not seen much of each other. But then we had a mini family reunion (with few pictures, silly us) for my husband's paternal side. And there was Aunt M.
Midway through the event, we moved from a Jump House (think lots of trampolines right next to each other) to a picnic at a park. Aunt M drove her own car, so we spent most of the trip assuring Kiddo that she would be there when we arrived, and to not worry.
As we pulled up, so did Aunt M. We pointed this out to Kiddo. She looked over, and immediately stated "Need my sunglasses!" Thank goodness they were in the diaper bag. This was completely inspired by coolest Aunt M who was wearing her sunglasses.
Except Kiddo's sunglasses aren't very cool. They are bright pink, and velcro with a strap in the back. Luckily she doesn't know that. And wears them without guile for brief periods of time on her own schedule. It totally cracks me up.
Thank goodness for a good aunt worth emulating in every way.
