I had my second baby shower last weekend, at my in-laws place. This was Dave's side of the family, and let me tell ya, there were a LOT of people there! When we were opening the presents I was so hot! I thought I was going to burst into flames.

My niece came with my aunt, and this is my niece from the other side. Well, she's not a real niece but she's just like blood to me. I'll refrain from saying her name because those that know her will figure out who she is. She is such a friendly little girl (she's 3) that she made friends immediately with the little kids that were there. They went around gathering balloons and running around and laughing and jumping on the couches.

My ring bearer from the wedding came a little later in the party. He's about 5 now. Anyway, when I was opening my presents, all the little kids were helping out, helping me tear the wrapping paper, bringing us the gifts, etc. I saw that my neice and ring bearer talking - more like my ring bearer trying to talk to my niece, who was concentrating really hard on moving presents around. I laughed to myself, thinking how cute it was that they were making friends.

After the presents were open, it was time for her to go home. She told her mom she wasn't ready to go home yet, but her mom was tired from work and needed to get some rest. My niece had her jacket on and the ringbearer went up to her mom and asked, "Can't she stay any longer?", to which her mom replied, "No, she's tired, she needs to go home and rest."

So he turns to my niece and says, "Are you tired?"

"No!" she says.

So her turns to her mom and says, "See? She's not tired!"

Ha! What a smart kid.

Later on as she was getting ready to leave, he says to her, "I'm sorry we didn't get to meet earlier, my family came late." She just smiled.

As her mom was saying her goodbyes, my niece was by the door. My ringbearer gave her a hug, and then gave her a kiss on the forehead. I looked around to see if there was anyone else who was witnessing this stud get his mack on. I looked at Dave and we bust out laughing. Dave's cousin also saw the whole thing and we all made, "Oh my god!" faces. Then the ringbearer held my niece's hand as she waited for her mother.

It was cute, yet a little weird and uncomfortable at the same time.

Kids these days!
