The Unusual Experience

...

It’s nearly 2 years later and a lot of things have changed. I don’t feel jealous anymore or uncomfortable. I love how I’ve see them grow up, speak their first word or first sentence and how I can sit down and have a conversation with them. I have now learnt how to change a nappy or make a bottle, I’ve learnt how to bath and change them. I’ve learnt how to understand them if they even if they don’t tell me what they want and it’s really not as hard as I expected it to be. I always go to my uncle’s to see them as I want them to grow up and see me as a role model, someone who inspires them. The adoption papers are now all signed and we can now do whatever we want with the boys as they are finally ours. It’s been a hard 2 years trying to get used to the lifestyle with my wee cousins, its hard trying to change your lifestyle and it did come with some bumps in the way.

Before I met my little cousins I felt like it wasn’t going to be good. I had the feeling of jealously as they were the new kids in my family. I have always gown up being the centre of attention with Carrie and I didn’t want that to change. But now I have noticed, the boys haven’t stolen the spot light off me. They have made my life better. I never thought in a million years I would ever become a big cousin, and I’m so happy. Words can’t describe how I feel about being a big cousin; it has completely changed my outlook on life. Personally, I think it has made me a better person; it has made me have patience, as I am the world’s worst for having none. It has made me more mature as I am a having a lot of responsibility to look after the younger ones. I am a proud niece; if it weren’t for my uncle I would still have no cousins. In the end, I am delighted to have Will and Ally in my life.
