How to Spoil Your Niece...

So, KK is in town right now on their cross-country trip moving back to Alaska :( ... but that means that I get to babysit her so her parents can go on a date! Here's the way to successfully spoil your almost 2 year old niece:

First, you feed her a yummy dinner of tacos sprinkled with a small fit from her cousin Mamu (which distracts her from missing mommy).

Second, you provide her with the Most Awesome Playroom Ever!

Then you provide her with the most awesome playmate / cousin ever! (She's really smiling, she was saying something right then...)

You give her a eucalyptus tree to climb whens she's pretending to be a koala.

You teach her all sorts of things like "My Auntie is the best!" and "I love you Auntie!" Of course her cousin Bebe threw in "Dolly? Do you like the dolly?" and "Achoo!" (You're welcome Didi!)

You let her conduct a puppy orchestra with a camero complete with backup singers.

You don't stifle her inner pop singer when she presses the "I've Been Workin' on the Railroad" button seventeen million times.

You let her have a fabulous bath with her Bebe. And you notice that you REALLY need to scrub the kids bathtub...

You also let her and Bebe share your bed and listen to them giggle and Bebe teaching KK new words (all good things!). You also are a super great aunt and don't take a picture with the flash of the cuteness in the bed. You also have your brother-in-law (her dad) take a picture with his iphone and forget to remind him to email it to you. :)
I will miss the times I get to spend with my KK , but we'll at least see each other over skype and possibly at holidays.
