Battles and Lullabies

There's a lot of excitement going on around here. Daddy's sisters are in a competition over who's going to be the favourite aunt. Auntie Laura insists she's going to be the cool aunt but Auntie Ann refuses to take that one sitting down and states that due to the fact that she's the musical one she's going to teach you how to play guitar and therefore she'll be the cooler aunt. I think they're both right. Your Auntie Ann has a beautiful voice. If you are lucky she will sing to you when the two of you are hanging out. But I'm pretty sure the person who will be teaching you guitar will be your daddy. When I met him he was a pretty mean guitar player. He's been too busy lately building us a future to play but once you are born I'll make sure he plays for you. I like to have naps while he strums away. He always plays lullaby type music, so soft, so sweet, so great to nap to. I think you'll agree.

Auntie Laura

May. 18

Your Auntie Laura is so excited about you that she won't stop calling your daddy. He says that she's called him every single day since she found out about you, sometimes twice a day! This is highly unusual of course because the two of them don't really converse over the phone. So your daddy is starting to feel a little overwhelmed by her sudden burst of chattiness. I think it's hilarious. So I'm guessing by her jubliance that she's going to make certain that she's your favourite aunt. You'll like her. She's a lot like me in ways, only a little more wild and a little more outspoken and lots of fun. Of course by the time you can read any of this I'll likely have lost all of my wild and fun side. So when ever you get the chance remind me that I need to loosen up a little. One of my biggest fears about being a mom is that I'll take it too seriously and forget to have fun. Don't let me get too serious Munchkin. That's going to be your job, to keep me young and full of life. I may make it challenging at times but I think you'll be able to handle it. And in the mean time if I've forgotten my fun side you'll have Auntie Laura to teach you.
