Corban is the two year old I babysit. It all started in February. Corban's little counsin, Morgan, was born earlier than expected. Corban's grandma usually babysits him and she was going to fly to visit baby Morgan so they asked me if I would watch him for 9 mornings while his mom was at work. No problem. Well, one "problem"... I fell in love with having a baby around the house again!
So, at the end of that time I told the mom and grandma that if they ever wanted to bring him over, we would love it! The grandma owns a consignment store and said it would be great if she had Thursdays to work on stuff in the store without Corban with her so I jumped at the chance in exchange for some store credit!
For the past 6 months I have had Corban almost every Thursday morning and we all adore him. However, the arrangements came to an end when his grandma decided to sell the store. So, I told his parents that I would still love to babysit if they ever needed help on occasion.
Today is that occasion! I have Corban in the house and it is so much fun! The only problem is that my children like playing with him better than they like to do their school work. Go figure!
I also babysit a 5 year old girl named Abigail a few afternoons a week. She is a morning kindergartener and she gets off the bus at my house right around lunch time on the days that both her parents have to work in the afternoon. She is so cute and smart and we really enjoy her.
I have noticed that I have a lot more happy energy when I have little ones around. I am praying that Adonai will give me a passion for older children the way I have for littles. I love my children, don't get me wrong. But there is just so much LIFE and JOY in watching little ones learn and explore! They just make my heart smile!
