I love her because she's my friend's child, because she's sweet and silly. I got to see her right after she was born, and she's the focus for all of my girl-clothes-buying adventures.
And they love each other. My kid is gentle and kind to the little girl who is 6 years younger than him. She thinks the older kid is pretty cool.
Is it so much of a reach that they'll get married some day?
I'd love to have my friend as family; I'd love to have the two of them fall in love.
Of course, we'll see what the future brings. I know that the chances are small. But it's still fun to dream.

This is the kind of thing that's a real wake up for me that people don't think like me at all. When I look at my nieces and nephews, I never think about their romantic futures - I think about their future health, their careers, and their relationships with one another, but I never imagine their future partners. I'm always taken aback when people talk about little kids and their future romantic partners, but I know it's something that other people think about a lot and it's eye opening for me to see inside other people's thought processes.
