The relationship that I find the most beautiful is the relationship Maelyn has with her Aunt and Uncle. My sister and her husband are nothing short of fabulous with Maelyn. I knew that they would be an important part of her life, but I never anticipated how profound the relationship would be -- it is a love that I watch with wonder and joy.
It began while we were in China as we talked daily over Skype. Maelyn was able to develop a relationship with them immediately -- they taught her how to make faces and stick out her tongue. The silliness hasn't lessened one bit -- and you can't help but laugh when they act like kids themselves just to get a laugh out of her. They are conscientious about making the trip from Toronto to Newmarket as often as they can to visit with their niece and once they are here, Paul and I no longer exist -- it is all about 'Kawa,' 'Caam,' and their dog Jake.
In fact, lately when I go to get Maelyn out of her crib in the morning, she is asking 'Caam, go?' She asks this over and over again. She also loves to talk on the phone to them, kissing the phone throughout the entire conversation.
Auntie Kara and Uncle Cam are the best -- just ask Maelyn!
