Chillin' with Cuties

I got to hang out with my nieces yesterday. Jada is almost two and Ciara will be 5 months old on the 11th. They are just too cute. They're bi-racial and I think that helps! Those big brown eyes are just irresistible, and indicative of how hot these gals are going to be when they grow up. But that's the future, and right now they're just concentrating on eating, sleeping, and playing with various things, most of which are breakable or somehow attached to other humans. I'm amazed that I have any hair left after Jada climbed from the floor to my back yesterday to "ride horsey" and used my hair as the reigns. But that's the humiliating price "Aunt Nenny" must pay for bonding time. Jada doesn't have the "j" sound down yet, so when she refers to me it becomes an "n." I've been "Nenny" for the past few weeks, but yesterday she did instruct me to get down on the floor and play with a sweet yet forceful "Nen! Peas?" She can't put the "l" in please yet either. Yes Jada, you're too cute to resist, no matter how much hair I could potentially lose or how much I don't feel like bending over after just eating a few too many smokey barbecue chicken wings at Varsity just down the road in Frisco. Jada seemed to be more concerned with coloring and looking around at all the big screens while we were there (I hope she grows up to be a sports lover like Nen!) than with eating her hot dog. I should learn to become so pleasantly distracted while I'm eating.

So that was yesterday. Today Angela and I are painting an accent wall in the bathroom upstairs after I get off the air. Love those home improvements. And I need to wax my eyebrows. It's an exciting life I lead.
