Anytime I start feeling the baby urge, which is a lot since I'm 28 and that ol' clocks a ticking, I go to Wichita and visit my niece and nephews.
One is autistic (he's almost 6) and the things that kid does would curl your toes!! You CANNOT let him out of your site, period. I know what you're thinking, you can't let any kid out of your site. But you can, like when you're at home, they'll play in their room by themselves. No, he can't even do that. In the room, with you, at all times, unless he's asleep. Doesn't that sound like fun??
My niece is a newborn, so there's daiper duty and crying for no discernable reason. My other nephew is 2 and going through that toddler stage of getting into everything and telling you no.
I haven't had a normal conversation with my brother and his wife in, oooohhh, 3 years I'd say. You just can't sit and talk with all those kids running amok. It's all I need to remind myself that I'm not ready for kids.
I do love all of them dearly, but I like to love them from 150 miles away, in Oklahoma.
