My nephew

I could imagine that one kid would make me want to have kids of my own. I spend my teenage years saying I didn't want to get married and I didn't want to have kids but, this all chance. When this little boy walks into my life.

I had moved in with his mom and dad cause, I was dating her brother and we both had moved in. This little boy to be so small he amazed me at the stuff he already knew.

He was two years old taking cabinet drawers apart that forks and spoons when in. They had a child safety lock on it and he was to smart for any safety lock.

Well, as time when on. This baby becomes part of my life as did his mom. I start calling the baby love bug.

He would climb in bed with me and my boyfriend at the time that now, my husband. Remind you he two years old. Brown hair brown eyes look just like his daddy. He would always be playing running around so he was very tiny. He would look at my boyfriend and say you can't have my aunt Nikkie and give me a hug and look at my boyfriend.my boyfriend would say she already mine punk.

Even when I left to go to work. It was the same thing he would cry at the door not wanting me to go. I remember how I feel on the other side of the door like the bad guy cause, I had to leave.

This baby was so sweet, loving and caring. Full of energy that he didn't know what to do with himself self so when we when Christmas shopping. I got him a hamster in a ball that was a toy. They had a big hallway. I mean big it led to every room in the house. I would let go of the ball at one end he would chase that ball to the other end. His smile when he got to the other end and pick it up and bought it back to me at the other end. That what I remember the most. How happy he was and proud of him self.

One night, as I was laying in bed I remember thinking if I ever had a kid. I would want him to be just like him. I just wanted him to be a boy.spirit and a free spirt.

This baby is no longer a baby no more. He a young man. but, he is still my love bug. I am still amazed by him,not the stuff he knows cause I already know the smart but how strong he is when people let him down. He show me What real love is even when people he loves the most is letting him down he still loves.

I will always remember that baby but, I also awe

Have you ever met a kid that you know your 100% loved and you just married into his family?

This started a long time ago he was 2 and a half and I was 19 years old. My boyfriend and I moved into his mom's house. To her other bedroom for guests. From the beginning, it was like he wasn't afraid of me and he knew me his whole life.

Me being 19 and having no kids of my own. He amazed me. To be so young and to know so much.

He took a kitchen cabinet apart. I never forget that smile. It wasn't long after he learns how to walk.brown hair brown eye always on the go. He pulled the cabinet draw out. When and got a screwdriver and set down. Remind you I was watching all of this and to be honest, I probably should have done something but, I continue to watch. He took the cabinet draw and turn it upside down and everything that was in it fell out. He wasn't done. He began taking the screw out of the drew by the time he was done all the screw was everywhere and they were pieces of wood laying on the floor.he looks up at me and smiles. I wasn't sure what to do so, instead of telling his mother. I set down on the floor and said I think it's time to put this back together little man. As I began to put it back together. Me setting on the floor his mother walks in. Nikkie, I know you didn't take that draw apart. I give her a confused look. Like I didn't know what she was talking about and she repeats herself. Nikkie, he does this it's been done before.

To be honest I never figure out how to put the drawback together because, I kept putting the draw backward so yeah, that was definitely a mommy's job.

From that day he becomes my shadow he was always around. He would cry at the door when I left for work. Saying come back, aunt Ikki. he would craw in my boyfriend that now my husband bed and saying you can't have my aunt Ikki. I always remember those little things.

I when from being a 19-year old that day that didn't want kids. To want a kid of my own. I wanted a little boy don't miss understand this am not saying he was a mean. He was just a normal kid. Wondering how things worked. I wanted a little boy just like him.

He 12 years old now and am 29. I have been around ever since he was 2. This little boy is now becoming a young man but, he still amazes me. His mom takes care of my nephew and niece her brother kids. That to him is his sister and brother. He doesn't treat them differently he loves them as just that his sister and brother. He plays with them and loves them.

He so strong-minded that he stand up for what right. He doesn't back down. He says whatever comes to mind. The min comes to his mind. Not much has changed. I still want my son to be like him don't get me wrong I want my son to be his own person but, I know if this is my son's role model. He's in good hands. This boy loves with his whole heart. He keeps his grades up and if you need to be put in place don't think he won't.

In my eyes, I will always see that boy that took that drew apart but the young man that boy has become. He amazing to. Though we're miles apart and I live in a different place. I will always be around to hear all the amazing things he does. An a+ on his report card to a new hair cut. I know how much this young man loved his aunt Nikkie and am so proud of the man he's becoming.
