Oh yes little ones, you are going to know me well. I have the time and dare I say it the inclination to visit you every Tuesday, Thursday, and Friday. Your mommy just had a new baby, your new brother and brought him home this week. She has joined the ranks of women who have three children under the age of four.
When I came to visit, you were both screaming at the top of your lungs and running around like whirling tops. As soon as I walked in you both decided it would be wildly funny to come over and start smacking me. Little girl started screaming at me to get out and generally maligning my character. Kid, you barely know me.
I looked over at your Mom exhausted and staring out into space. I heard that when her hubby came home the other day, she grabbed the keys and got in the car and had a good cry.
Now I know for sure that I was right to offer my services to her when she was in the hospital. Don’t worry; you will have the times of your lives when I am there. So you will be more than happy to bend to my will. So kiddies, get ready, here comes Great Aunt Ellie.

Three kids under four?
*shudder, hugs self*
You are going to have your hands full but stand your ground and it will all go much smoother for you......I hope. You are so kind to come to a new mom's aid. It's the greatest gift you can give a new mom, time for just the baby and herself. Good luck!!
Nice work - both the child care and the writing. And I wouldn't be surprised that each activity will help the other to flourish.
I think I love Great Aunt Ellie. I liked this. :-)
