(the rat's nest, dontcha know):
In my waking dreams I am the ideal Auntie. My niece Kazzie and I ride our scooters through the woods, accompanied by my (our) faithful dog, the legendary King Arfur of the House of de la Haye. Kazzie is wearing a helmet and knee and elbow pads. Arfur carries sandwiches, juice boxes (Capri Sun) and art supplies in the pouches of his utility vest. I am full of fun, energy, pep and verve.
In reality, however, I have turned out to be a bit of a dud Auntie. I'm not sure I would hire me to be a free nanny some day.
In the week that I have known the Spaz, we have spent most of our time together NAPPING. I do not mean that she (rightfully, as a small baby) (and I mean small) (she is really little) naps as I flit about the rat's nest making myself useful. I mean that we both sleep sleep sleep. The spazzie life-giving energy makes for good snoozing karma.
I have one more week to recover before I go back in for the second round of the most evil chemeo yet. This time I know what to expect so it's almost worse. My neck will have barely recovered from the mega mainline before they slice into that nice chubby jugular (?) to reinsert the new one. Hopefully I'll get some energy back in the next few days and will liven up some. Then the Spaz and I will be able to hop and dance around a bit, which she seems to like when her Granny does it.The KAS reports:
**Today during one of our naps Kazzie had a grip on one of my fingers. We were both snoozing when she suddenly had a spaz attack and squeezed my finger so hard that I woke up...
**We are all afraid that the Kaz may have inherited my nose. Both her parents have very nice noses. If, despite the best of parental intentions, you got my schnoz, Kaz, I'm really sorry, baby.**Kazzie likes to sleep with her arms over her head, fists closed, in a victory gesture. I will try to get a pic as this is very cute.

Kaz is adorable! Congratulations on becoming her auntie!
Victory!!
The Spaz attack grip was undoubtedly her receiving an oscar, or peabody, or nobel prize in her dream...
Ahem. I take exception to the commentary "We are all afraid that the Kaz may have inherited my nose." - You, FSA, are the only one that is afraid of it - the rest of us find it quite amusing, after 9 months of you trying to convince us (with the help of Ellen and Rachel and their siblings/children/niece) that she is supposed to look like you.
Her nose is perfect, as is the N***********s wrinkle.
