Tonight my half siblings came over. The oldest girl is 5, the boy is 4 and the younger girl is probably 3? Anyway, I had such a lovely time with the kids! They were all so talkative and normal! Not to say they're abnormal in any way, but when they were younger they were shy and didn't talk much, so I never connected with them on any level. Now they blabber on and on in Hmong and it is amazing!
This intense excitement was mixed with confusion. My mom is also their "mom" but I kept referring to her as grandma (on accident) because my nieces and nephews are around their ages. I guess I forgot to mention that I am their "sister" but I told them that Cyndah (my 4 year old niece) was their auntie when it was the other way around. Cyndah is their niece! It will be really weird to grow older and to think of these terms: sister, aunt, mom, grandma, etc. when the age gap is so big (on my side of that family that is...).
But all in all, although I've changed my mind about having kids, I still love kids. They're all so adorable (in some ways).
