So I was asked a few months ago if I would write a blog post from the Aunties perspective of lots of little kids...
Having only become a Aunty by law a year ago I have had many adventures in being a LOLK auntie in the 6 years of knowing them. First meeting Master Isaiah in Red Rooster, Miss Amalia in Qld, Master Jarah in Narrogin and then Miss Avi in Esperance (born only a day after my 21’s birthday! And YES I did tell her to push harder!!!). There is never a dull moment in the LOLK house or car!
I get the pleasure of holding the crying kids with ouchies and praying for them, and yep blood needs extra prayer and attention! Pizza nights where “papa” bakes us all a pizza each and us women get to talk while the men get to play on their phones and other techno things. coming over for a random visit to have the 3 older kids run to the gate yelling “It’s Vicki! Vicki’s here!!” and then walking into the house to see the baby smile at me and crawl or toddle over to me.
The LOLK’s house is usually a bit chaotic and stressful at times but it is always somewhere I feel loved, appreciated and accepted and we ALWAYS have adventures!
I often scratch my head and wonder how it is that Amy can deal with having so many little kids all with such different needs and personalities. I vary rarely have the pleasure of having to look after all 4 at once on my own. I usually get to adventure with one or two just to take the load of for Amy. I feel like my role is to encourage, love and adventure with the LOLK and enjoy every moment of it...
