[quote=Anonymous]I have an aunt who never had kids and was like my second mother. It's all about the experiences, making sure of course that the mom is ok with some of the bigger ones. My aunt took me for my first manicure, first trip to disney at 10, first trip overseas at 18, lots of theatre, came with us for prom dress shopping and shoe shopping... so lots of experiences. Doesn't have to be the big ones I mentioned, but make your own traditions - afternoon tea or a favorite cuisine, a sleepover at the end of the school year, if you host any holidays they can come the night before and you can cook together. As they get older let them know they can talk to you about the big stuff, so they have another trusted adult to go to if they can't ask mom.

We moved hours away from my niece, but make it a point when we get together to always bake something and gossip about the boys at her school. We paint our nails together or make funny hair styles. She still knows we have our special "things" we do even though I'm further away.[/quote]
