I just want to take a moment to recognize the greatest unsung hero of Lucas' life.
Aunt Lainey.
Aunt Lainey is supreme. First off, she does things that I, mommy, would never do. Baby has a fever...no problem....she goes to the store and buys a variety of frozen pops and delivers. Without being asked to, I might add. She gives him dessert. I don't. She drops everything and comes over when I, mommy, am freaking out. She talks to the advice nurse when I, mommy, think the advice nurse is a huge jerk and Aunt Lainey uses words that are slighty nurse-ish to alert jerky advice nurse that she is serious, but not in the obnoxious way that I, mommy, would have had she not taken the phone from me.
She upgraded us to business class on the plane. I am too cheap. She always has snacks. I am too cheap. She can ALWAYS put the baby to bed, and she (almost) never gloats about that. She is the bomb.
If I didn't have her, I would surely be in the loony bin, but if Lucas didn't have Aunt Lainey, it would be really, really sad. For him.
Aunt and Uncle Day is July 26, but I think we'll celebrate early.
