Aunt Tracy and Uncle Will
Who needs 24 hour fitness when you are Aunt Tracy and Uncle Will. Skilled 30 somethings with good jobs, worldly experience. Well, we came back down to planet earth and pseudoparenthood last night when we took our 3 year and 16 month old nieces down to the fair and to the nightly show - which was Stayin' Alive and ABBA (Will and Tracy really kind of wanted to see the show). Instead Uncle Will and Aunt Tracy had a blast with Hanna and Madelyn and boy did they get us into shape. Dodging the crowds, keeping them out of meltdown status. We definitely heard music, but I think we were also seeing stars by the end of the night. Grandma and Grandpa were going to rescue us and take the girls home while we stayed out.... but Aunt Tracy and Uncle Will had the girls almost asleep by that point so we were happy to volunteer to take them home, have a glass of wine and go to bed ourselves. Praise parenthood! You all are awesome. I was impressed with Uncle Will - giving a 3 year old "rules"....which she actually followed - for a little while until she threw down her sippy cup and baton - then it was all over and back to the stroller it was. Overall a fun night!

Hardly a fair test.
1. You get to give them back to their owners.
2. You got to sleep through the night, afterwards.
3. You aren't doing this EVERY. SINGLE. DAY.
Just contemplate the sleep deprivation that you'll have when you have your own.
Nyaah.
(They're worth it, though.)
Wow..a day with the kiddos..possibly the cheapest birth control EVER. My niece and nephew are a handful and when I feel like I MIGHT be ready...I hang out with them to be sure. :) Usually, I'm reminded that I'm really not ready! Really, really not ready. Really.
