wispfoxIt's simultaneously really neat and really strange that Dalia, my oldest sister's daughter, never fails to know who I am and indicate a desire for me to hold her. And when I first met her, a little over a month after her birth, she fell asleep on me. (note: My older brother's children have never had such a strong attachment/interest in me, so it's not just that we're related)
Babies don't usually like me, so having one _fall asleep on me_ last year was more than a little unexpected. And having her remember who I am even more so. I don't see her more often than 5 hours at a time, with at least two months between the visits, so such awareness of who I am confuses me.
Little over a year old now, and she spent an awful lot of time having me hold her today (well, when she wasn't napping). Was strange. Neat, but strange. My family does certainly have possibility for really nifty children!
And good lord, she has a gigantic smile. (which I was amused to be told reminded my youngest sister of me)
Yeah. Children. Fascinating, and scary. And I can_not_ imagine wanting them, even if one _doesn't_ have reason to believe (as I do) that having some my own to take care of would be a really bad idea. *shakes head*
