Making friends and influencing children…
The past few days I had the joy of spending time with my Nephew again as his grandma came back to the area for a few meetings and whatnot. This visit – there wasn’t even a blow up (he clearly remembered the important thing – Auntie Lessa Is Boss.) except for one with The Girl while I was at the store. I had it calmed down within 1.2 minutes of walking in the door though, much to the pup’s amazement. (Mom! You sure are good with kids! – said all innocent like, as if she hasn’t left me fit to be tied on multiple occasions herself!) We had a lot of fun, as he ran around, played, sang, and drug me to the couch or randomly crawled into my lap for cuddles.
I even made sure to start his training. Yup. Some things are important you see – like a shared love for all things Big Brother.
It helped that the endurance competition I was watching on the live feeds/writing about involved standing on airplanes that were rising and falling and bouncing about (the object was to stay balanced on the plane. last man standing won). He was enthralled with the planes and wanted one of his very own to play on. I’ll have to see what I can do – until then, I sent him home with some jumping frogs (tiddly-wink style) and cheeto breath. And the planted seed that will blossom into a reality tv addict, just like his Auntie.
MUHAHAHAH!
