I'm excited too! Brian has already started talking about how to kidproof our home so Mary and Josh can come over and relax.
I should do more for my niece, too. She's cool and I would love to be more active in her life (if she wants). You're right-on about respecting consent. I was a not-physically-affectionate tot, and so hugs from my grandma (whom I saw infrequently before age 3) were a bit unwelcome at first.
