What's something I can do for my nieces??

Just a year ago, my children and I moved 900 miles away from my fsmily to start a new life with my new husband. We miss my family terribly, and they feel the same. Everytime we plan a trip, something has happeed to stop it. Mom has sent little care packages for us seversl times. She may pick up something as simple as a notebook and pencils to send the kids, or hand lotion for me. The point is, she takes the time to send it. It doesn't really matter what you send them. It can be as simple as a piece of paper with the words 'I love you" written on it. They will be thrilled to get it, and believe me, they know that you love them.

omg! i can relate to your side of story. although there's a slight differences. my parents are staying at my brother's house & they got to be with their grandchildren. my oldest niece is 4 and the youngest are fraternal twins. both boy & girl just turned 1 year old. since i'm far from them & rarely do i get the chance to visit them, i do try to manage to give them anything i can think of. try to call them up & talk to your niece. since she's already 2 years old ask her things that she likes. and for the twins since they're still 2 months old, they still won't understand the essence of gifts. so the best thing is to ask their parents what their needs are. my 4 year old niece gets so excited when i ask her what she wants because she has so many things in her innnocent mind. and for my 1 year old nephew & niece, it's my sister-in-law who appreciates me because she knows the twins need it. hope this helps..

(i just joined 2day,& this is the 1st message i read-so i am sorry if u have rcvd this advice)...I would 1.) Make sure you talk to them on the phone(have them hear your voice) 2.) Send pictures of yourself, in a BRIGHTLY colored frame-so they see u often 3.) Mail, or e-mail, videos of yourself: puppet shows, silly dances, singing,etc. [even a web-cam would work-the little cheap digital cameras, usually 4 kids, are $10-$15,they actually work too...that would be a great gift!She could see u anytime!!!] Any or all of those things could really help establish a relationship w/your nieces, no matter where, or how far away they are. I have MANY nieces & nephews, who all live 45 to 100 miles away....but they all love me & KNOW that I love them. I hope this helps!!
