How do you acquire favorite aunt status?

I talked to Jayson soon after coming back from the Philippines and he asked where Rachel was and informed me that she was his favorite aunt.   How do you acquire favorite aunt status?

1. You have to be frequently or living in your niece and nephews lives. Which might be difficult for aunts living in say Alaska or Utah.
2. Time and creativity with a bit of love thrown in.

Every morning of our trip to Redding, Rachel would be out playing what the boys wanted to play

On Friday we headed over to Sacramento for a quick visit

Rachel is willing to actually play with her nephew

She takes the time to let her niece and nephew enjoy the things they like

She is willing to take the effort to show them she cares

But favorite aunt status can be had by entering into the children's imagination

And of course go down the slide endless times

With whomever would like a ride

Time, taking the time, effort, and care to show love

And reading books to book lovers will do the trick too!
