Sharing is NOT Caring

So for those of you who know me know that my favorite title in the whole world right now is that of Aunt.  In fact lately my favorite thing is when my 2.5 year old nephew Clark comes running up to me yelling "Auntie Shay-ell" man I love his little accent.



As with most toddlers his mood is hit or miss, I like to think he is usually a big fan of me, but sometimes he is tired, or sick, or just plain grumpy, so those moments when he is super loving and playful I just eat those up, because I don't know when the next grumpy gills is gonna come out.

This last Sunday we had a celebration for my mom's birthday and we had the whole family (minus my brother Paul's family in Utah).  It was awesome having almost all my nieces and nephews together, I just love my family so much.  Anyways, Clark was in one of his super good moods on Sunday and was hanging all over me the whole night. I was LOVING it.  He would only play with me, he sat on my lap for me to feed him cake, when he got a boo-boo he came to me for comfort, words can't describe how much that warmed my heart!! He also shared a bite of his cookie with me, now if nothing else, that right there is true unconditional love from anyone, but especially a toddler, you just don't share cookies.

However I have since learned that perhaps as cute and loving as it was to share that cookie with me, and all the slobbery kisses I got I probably shouldn't have allowed all of that.  Because now I have a very sore throat and runny nose and overall crappy yucky cold.  So after going to the doctor and making sure I didn't have strep throat, I now have orders to use flonase twice a day for 2 weeks, allegra twice a day, and advil for when I'm in pain... oh and they best part... a salt water gargle.

However after all is said and done, all the snuggles and kisses and loves I got from Clark on Sunday, I'd say all this pain and sickness is totally worth it and I'd do it all over again!! I just love that kid!!!
