​5 Reasons I love being Auntie Emily

I’ve always been pretty broody, I’m the type of person that sees little things and just says ‘Nawwwwww look it’s so tiny’ … i.e in Boots where you get all the cute travel items. So imagine me with baby clothes !
 
I am a very proud Auntie of 4, two identical twin boys Finley and Billy, and two nieces Pippa (Pipi) and Mia (Mimi)….I knew I would love being an Auntie but I had no idea how much I’d love it. There definitely is a special bond between an aunt and her niece and nephews, and although all of them are under two years old, they know exactly who I am.
 
5 Reasons I love being an Auntie:

1. I got to experience ALL the best parts of babyhood --- falling asleep on you, the smiles the laughs and the YOU ARE SOOOO CUTE I JUST WANNA EAT YOU.
2. I get to hand them back - no sleepless nights for meeeee. No changing 5 million nappies a day. Although I did get to learn how to feed, change and burp all from becoming an Auntie.
3. It is acceptable to play with their toys, and watch their tv – I’m a big kid myself, perhaps that’s why I love working with children so much. Seriously though, what is it about kids tv and toys- it literally hypnotises me. You try having ‘in the night garden’ on and not want to watch it! I don’t get judged watching it because it is on for ‘them’.
4. Future advice- with both my brother and sister being parents now I get guidance for the future. I have more than just my parents for advice when/if I have children myself.
5. Free models- and they love it …. ish … Auntie Emily of course loves taking their photos, and they are always willing. 

 
 
I could go on and on but there is just a few. This is my first blog so I had to make it about my wonderful nieces and nephews.
One last thing ….. I would like to say to Rob & Laura, Pauline & Simon … thank you. Thank you for giving me the most precious people in my life, and thank you for being great role models for my future xxxx 

All my love,

​Emily xxx
