Today was a special occasion. My kids only have one true aunt, but there are several women in their lives who have earned that title. Unfortunately, most of them the kids don't see that often. They know of them from stories and such, but truly some of their aunts are more legend than anything. Meet Aunt Steph. She is my kids' godmother. For a good stretch of time, Steph was a frequent visitor at our house, and our Soulard house, and are apartment, etc, etc. However do to changes in life, her visits have dimished. However, my kids still call our basement bedroom Aunt's Steph's room. The bathroom down there is also Aunt Steph's. Now I can say pretty confidently that Boo remembers Steph visiting. Bella, however is a different story. I would venture a guess that Steph has only been up two or three times since she was born, and one of those was her christening at five weeks old. Bella knows how to work it though. She began by playing shy. She hid and smiled. She ran and giggled. She played hard to get. Then, when she had Steph right where she wanted her, she crawled up in her lap and began sucking attention. The girl knows how it works. I think Bella senses, at some point, Aunt Steph will be her hook up for good shopping.
