I got to meet my baby niece today and she is the cleverest, most serene and prettiest baby in the world. Sorry other babies, Baby U is my favorite forever.
[ID: a photograph of my hand, wearing my usual rings, palm up. Holding onto my index and middle finger is a tiny hand curled around mine.]

Me at the grocery store with my 3 year old niece.
Some lady walks up to our cart: oh my goodness she's so cute!
Lady reaches out to touch her and my niece bites her.
Lady looks pissed and proceeds to tell me: You need to have better control of your child.
Me gives her a flat look: no
Lady: what?
Me: No, she defended herself. I am not going to let her think that defending herself is wrong.
Lady seems shocked by my attitude: what I wasn't-
Me moves cart away from her: you are a stranger approaching her. You reach out to touch her without her permission. She has every right to bite, scream, scratch, or whatever to get you away from her. If a man did the same thing you just did I'm sure you'd agree.
Moves to the cold food section and picks out gogurts for my awesome little niece, and proceeds to call sister and tell her how badass her kid will be.

Auntie life is the best life. My niece is hilarious. This week I took her to her very first soccer practice. She had begged to do this for years but was of course nervous. On the drive over:
Niece: I’m scared. I’m so scared.
Me: You got this kid.
Niece: I hope there’s no mean girls.
Me: fingers crossed for sweet, friendly girls.
Niece: Well. I just want average girls.
Me: Alright. ✨May your team be full of average girls. ✨
Then
Niece: There’s no boys on my team right? I hope there’s no boys.
Me: What’s wrong with boys? They’re cool to play soccer with right?
Niece: They’re all so good at it.
Me: No they’ll be beginners too sweetie. It’s a beginner team.
Niece: *cuts me a look that implies I’m a dumdum* All boys are good at soccer.
(Her big brothers and cousins are all huge and extremely good at soccer)
Cut to practice where this adorable tiny boy like half her size eyes big as dinner plates has to be nudged out on the field by his mama (he’s scared, she explained)
And my niece makes a goal on him the first drill and comes out for her water break and tells me “I think I can help him. I can guide him.”
😂♥️😂😂😂😂
I was like…that’s the spirit baby girl. Teamwork.
Also, she had her BlackPink water bottle for luck. It was so cute.

I’m tired but Happy Birthday to my pretty girl!
How is my niece 8 years old?
Between softball, dance, cub scouts, and the million other activities you are involved in, you keep us running but to see the joy on your face is enough to overshadow the exhausted feeling. You excel in school beyond what your mommy could ask for, always straight A’s and always trying to do better!
Your kind heart, compassionate personality, and warm smile instantly take over a room. You’ve overcome so much much this year. You have handled the news of becoming a big sister (again), mean bullies at school, helping your little brother navigate a new school, guiding Coit thru his Autism journey and through new phases he’s experiencing, with poise and grace. I would never expect anything less from you. Thank you for always being you and never let anyone dim your light. Happy Birthday Addison!

My niece just told me, with theatrical despair in her voice, that if her parents don't have the movie she is wanting to watch, then she's going to, and I quote, "wreck the earth". She insists this is not a melodramatic reaction.
Given that the trailer was for a movie that's not even out in theaters yet, I guess the earth is going to be destroyed by a five-year-old.
