The Big Sis To Be In Sugarshock

Full pics again here
So, Saturday Bro and his family came for a visit, we met in town – and, little Niece has changed 100%!
Not shy at all this time – not even towards Ingo!

Pic at the big kid´s toy - fearless (and Daddy right behind her).

Her speech has improved lots, too, how come she can make such a huge step in such a short time?!

Ingo got angry when we lost him in a shop (guess he was tired of all the very slow walking, too), and said harshly he´s going home now!

Niece didn´t understand the trouble and I just said, sometimes he´s stupid like that. She looked at me as if she couldn´t believe it. One “why”, one “sometimes he just is like that” and the matter was done. Thank goodness the endless-why-phase is over.

Here at Ringerbrunnen - no fear of other, bigger kids!

She enjoyed being carried around by me lots – boy, how do parents manage?! Not easy anymore!
And by the time we arrived home everything was ok again.

Funny thing was: She asked where my car is – why is that important to a three and a bit-old girl???

Well, nearly everything was ok.
She got her first Easter-pressies.
Awwww. The disappointment was rather huge – the very cool animal-crayons… she got the same from her Grandma. The fact that they were left at the place where they go for holidays and now she has a second set for home didn´t help much.
Not better: The cool lunchbox from IKEA. Umm. She has that already, too.

Only good surprise: The content, the pudding-lion made by Ingo for the little Lion (by zodiac sign) and the mice.

So I said, sometime you have to give me a list of all that you have already, which she agreed to – she seemed to understand that I couldn´t have known!

Note to self: Also ask with the little stuff!

She had fun with our cow - and after all the gummy-bears she got in the city already from Bärenland she had the energy, too, endlessly...

All the last times, at our place or at theirs, she refused to say good-bye as if then we would stay together.
Lesson learned, she jumped into my arms for a good-bye and then happily turned around and jumped up to Ingo even!

And kept waving and shouting “until next time!”
Concept of visiting understood :-)

Such a cute age.
Well, at least for Aunties.
According to her parents the Easter Bunny should´ve left her out of his pressies – to which she looked really guilty ;-)

Was a nice arvo, but, man, not a 24/7 for me!
Being just the Auntie is cool.

The lion, or rather the rest of it and two mice made it home and Bro sent a pic: "Thank you Uncle Ingo" :-)
