So, Nathan was a bit of a mommy-centric baby, and my poor sister, who, by circumstances of living far from us, has only gotten to see him a couple of times a year since he was born, has been a bit disappointed to find that he tended to be a little standoffish with her. We were all a little surprised, because her first son, Tommy, is the type of kid that connects with most everyone, and so he and I had an instant auntie/nephew bond from day one. We all assumed that my first son would be the same with his auntie.
However, sometimes, like a fine wine, things need time. And so, we're thrilled to see that now that Nathan's at least sticking his beak out of the nest a little, he's more willing to forge a strong relationship with his Auntie Michelle. The two have had some really cute moments on this trip, not the least of which was an hour long "preschool" session this morning where Auntie Shell went over the calendar, did a story and lesson on circles, a cooking class, and helped Nathan draw some pictures. He was completely mesmerized by his "teacher."
This video clip is an earlier part of our trip when we left the museum and Nathan held his aunties hand without complaint for the first time.
