Princess.

Confession. I miss Chatham. I miss my friends, I miss my church, I miss knowing where I am going and where to find everything. I miss the small town feel, I miss having things to do and people to see but most of all I miss my beautiful niece.

I call her my best friend. Not that she knows what a best friend is. She does know I love her though, and I know she feels the same for me.

She looks for me hiding behind the tablet when we skype and then proceeds to give the screen kiss after kiss. She gets excited when I come home and is calmed when I pick her up. She smiles when I get her up from a nap and giggles when I sing songs with her.

I miss getting to spend every day with her and getting to see every stage of her life. We now live with too short of weekend visits and five minute skype dates (which is forever for a 14 month old).

She is growing and changing every day and I am sad not to spend it with her, but I do thank God that I get to play a part in this wonderful baby girls life. Also, it helps me not want kids of my own yet which makes my husband extremely happy.

She is my best friend, my princess, my tootsie and in my opinion the best niece in the world (yes I only have one!)
