Hijacked By Aunt Rachel

A Rachel Entry (Christine’s AWESOME sister):

That’s right. I, Rachel, have hijacked the Goldmann Blog for the best post yet! Muhahaha.

I’ve decided to write my own letter to Nolan.

Dear Nolan,

Hi, it’s me. Your (favorite) aunt.

Today I was sent here to care for you while your mom cleans. Now you are napping so I have a minute to write this.

From the day you were born you have brought great joy to my life, great smiles, great hugs, great eating, great scooting, great screams, great naps, great sounds, and the wettest great of all...great drool! Seriously...impressive drool, My Nephew. Impressive.

I know a lot of things. I’m a wise person indeed. I was the most high achieving student of my elementary school. No no no don't ask your mom just trust me I was. Anyway I would like to pass some of this knowledge on to you. Here are my 17 secrets to life:

1. Every time you get Hawaiian pizza, don't eat the pineapple, just give it all to your mom, she'll eat them.

2. I don't like flossing, but it’s probably a good idea.

3. Never be scared to dance.

4.The way to make friends is to be nice and use a good sense of humor.

5. If you order mac and cheese, ask for extra cheese.

6. If you babysit, feed the baby carrots and gravy.

7. If you ever make poor choices in life, your family will still love you. But it would be best to make good choices.

8. On your first day and last of school, bring you teacher chocolate. Your mom will really appreciate this one.

9. Your mom always says, “It’s okay to be mad, but it’s not ok to be mean.” I think these are pretty good words.

10. Your dad is handy guy in the house, ask him to fix your toys.

11. Say no to drugs and say yes to candy, (but not from strangers!).

12. Coffee is gross...don’t drink it.

13. If you ever need a hug, I never run out.

14. Always try your best in school.

15. Choose friends who treat you well.

16. Always share and good things will come to you.

17. Taylor Swift is the best singer...no matter what your mom says.

Okay, the last thing I need to tell you is that you have the coolest teether ever. No seriously.

It's so squishy and its see-through and the little stars have smiley faces on them!!!! :)

I asked your mom where she got it and she said Fred Meyer so I might go and get one. Of course not to chew on, but to play with and squish.

Your teether is in a circle shape made out of circles. And each circle has a different colored star in it, red, blue, yellow, turquoise and green and there is one circle with no star in it. It just says Learning Curve Baby ™.  

Your mom thinks it’s weird I like your teether so much.

Love,

Aunt Rachel
