Originally Posted By Autopia Deb Congratulations to TALL Disney Uncle and all his relations! Having my own kid didn't make me feel like a grownup, so I think you're okay there Byron! Think of all the fun things you can do with little niece or nephew when baby is old enough to subvert to your fun ways! Oh, it looks like you'll be a first time uncle about the time I'll be a second time auntie (it's a fun job, I promise you). Woo hoo!

Originally Posted By MomofPrincess Congrats, Byron!!! And LOL! Your post had me rollin'! I became an aunt at age 3 so I guess I've never had time to think all that stuff through. Try becoming a GREAT aunt (like I did) at age 36, though -- sheesh! That's what happens when you have a nephew who's just 3 years younger than you are. There are still some days when I can't believe I'm anyone's MOM. It just seems impossible! I was a kid myself, just, oh.... 2 or 3 years ago. LOL Hey! Now you have a reason to go out and buy another copy of Monster at the End of this Book! ;-)

(course he'd have to be a nephew, lol) It's settled in a lot more now. But last night when I kept seein' "Uncle Byron" typed out in black and white over and over it started makin' feelin' all weird and surreal again, lol. Just a big life change that I'll be gettin' used to...it's funny, I always thought that a death in the family would be the first family thing to send me reelin', not a birth, lol (haven't had a close death yet). So now most of the weirdness-OMG-I-can't-believe-this phase has worn off, and I'm REALLY lookin' forward to bein' Fun, Cool Uncle Byron! :-D Least I hope that's what my nephew/niece'll think of me as, lol. I'll just have to explain which toys are "toys" and which toys are "collectibles", and not lose my inherited-from-Dad temper if there's a mix-up...*gulp*...I have 2 cousins 7 and 8 years younger and I remember from when I was around them in their younger years you really gotta watch 'em, lol. But the kid is gonna have a great, fun, loving life. He/she's gonna have terrific parents, and my sister's a lot like me in her interests and "toys", so there will be PLENNNNNNTY of vintage Disney and Muppets and '70s/'80s children's entertainment stuff around. Okay, a couple of days has been enough, I'm ready for the arrival now! But I don't think my sister is quite yet, LOL. Uncle Donald, Uncle Scrooge, Uncle Kermit---Uncle Byron!

Originally Posted By u k fan Congrats Byron! As someone with 10 years experience at being a "Cool Disney Uncle" with a room full of toys I can tell you right now that you'll be a great addition to the team. Just wait until he/she is old enough for sleepovers. We could hold transatlantic Muppetfests with our neices/nephews. Emerson and I finally got to watch Muppets at WDW last night thanks to you! As someone without children I can't tell you how wonderful it is having neices and nephews to spoil. And while I don't want to single him out if you're really lucky you'll get the same kind of relationship with your neice/nephew as I have with Emerson. Regardless of any family ties he is one of my best friends. He just happens to be 18 years younger than me. Oh, and by the way you are MUCH older than me, that 2 months makes a big difference!!!
Originally Posted By u k fan Also, I do know how you feel. I'm 28 and even though I have 3 younger siblings and 7.5 neices/nephews I still feel like the youngest and I am so not a grownup yet. I see other people who are the same age as me and think that they look like proper men and women - like you see on TV. In suits and things with proper jobs and everything and then I realise I'm the same as them and that must be how I look, but really I'm still 17. In my head that's how I look and how I feel. I am so not a grown up!!!
