This last weekend I was down in Texas and got to meet my sweet niece Emmylou for the first time. On Friday I got her all to myself and we had so much fun. On Saturday was my nephew, Jack's, b-day party so we went over early to set up. Once people started arriving, I was ready for my Emmylou time (she had been inside all morning). I went inside to get her and as soon as I came out, this lady that no one even knew was like, "oh, let me hold her." Being the nice person who can never actually say what she feels, I went with it. I was so mad and I just stood there while this lady held Emmylou and gave me a sob story about how she doesn't have any more babies. I'm thinking, "Oh big deal, I live in Colorado and just met her yesterday...SHE'S MY NIECE." All of this is going on inside my head and I'm getting all frustrated b/c the party just started and I wasn't even going to get to hold my niece. Finally, I just said, "Ok, give her back." I took her and off me and Emmylou went to enjoy our own Aunt/Niece time. I've been feeling stupid b/c of how greedy I was and how this lady could have been a good friend to my brother & sister inlaw, but I ruined it with my Greedy Aunt Syndrome. But seriously, look at her...wouldn't you be a greedy aunt too?

Oh, don't be too hard on yourself. Grammys are allowed to do what you did, why not aunts? I bet the couple will remain their friends. She is a sweetie.
aina still does the exact same thing with ella...no worries!
