On Birthdays and Aunts

Hey bloggeroos! Miss me? I'm sure you did! Why, I can't believe my last post was still 2006! So many things happened to me since then. For starters, I'm already 3 years old now! Yup, I celebrated my birthday last December 19 - and I didn't even get to blog about it! Anyhoo, here's a picture of me blowing my birthday cake:

So what else is new with me? Well, I am not just 3 now, but I'm a tita as well. Yup, I've got a new niece! Her name's Kalli and she's ate Sheila's baby. She calls me tita Dutch - or at least that's what she will call me when she learns to speak, hihihi. But almost everyone else at home is already calling me tita Dutch so that Kalli 'll get used to it. Frankly I'm not sure I'll get used to it. It makes me feel old :(

Honestly, I'm not exactly sure how I feel about being an aunt. I mean, I'm happy that Kalli's here. I am! I was so excited when she first got home. I was jumping up and down just to get a glimpse of her. Imagine, a baby! I've never seen a baby before. Oh alright I have. But not as small as Kalli. She was so tiny. And she doesn't walk. They're always carrying her around. I kept following her wherever they took her. Or at least I tried to follow her. But they wouldn't let me near her. They wouldn't even let me inside ate Sheila's room! Now what was up with that??! I demand my fair share of time with my niece, demmit!

Being the baby for all my life, I'm not quite sure how to be an aunt. I suppose I have to act all grown-up now. I have to watch over my niece and make sure she doesn't do the wrong things like pee on the carpet or drink from the pond. I myself know how dangerous it is to drink from the pond. Remember the time I fell in with the fishy-fishies? Hihihi, that was quite an experience! But I wouldn't want that to happen to Kalli, would I? Gotta watch over her real close.

One thing I noticed though is that Kalli seems to have a lot of birthdays. It's like it's her birthday all the time. Why, she could be older than me now! Is she? Hmmm, I've got to think about this. I'm not sure I can be her aunt and be younger than her. Or will she be my aunt now? Wait, that doesn't seem right. I'm confused! I should probably go and ask ate Sheila about it now.

Until next time bloggeroos!
