I was recently asked , “What did you learn in these last six months”? My response, “to appreciate each moment with your loved ones, to be in the moment, mindful of their presence…” I can never be more grateful for the opportunity to take care of two beautiful little souls. Not having kids myself yet,  It was an experience full of love, joy, and headaches…lol I learned to be patient…nap times can make you or break you lol I learned that you don’t have to make fancy food… babies can’t tell the difference.. and they will eat a grilled cheese just fine (my nephews favorite) I learned that if you teach them to pray over their food, they’ll remind you when it’s not being done… and don’t forget to close your eyes (Gio is looking at you) haha 🤣 😆 I learned that they love to play with you if you take the time to engage with them….from exercises to hiding under the blankets at naptime.. I learned that changing a diaper is a next level multitasking (updates resume) hahaaa 🤣 I learned that they will hurt your feelings real quick when they don’t get their way…mad looks lol hahaaa 🤣 I learned that they are burst of energy just wanting to love on you all day I learned that they are as smart as you keep them mentally stimulated (Gio loves to spell out words..and will count down between each song on pandora.. 😆 who knew it’s 10 counts between the songs) I learned that they have their own little personalities… and omg if Gio’s legos fall apart… Gigi will give you her “crying” babydoll just to continue playing lol 🤣 Most of all, I learned to be in the moment… to enjoy them as much as possible!! Forever grateful for this time God allowed me to take care of His precious children he blessed my sister with. Love you Gio and Gigi 💙💖 Thank you for making me a better aunt!!
