Babysitting

I babysat for a 4 year old tonight for 7 hours. His nanny goes to our church and needed the night off so I was more than willing to fill in since they pay more than $10/hr.....easiest money I think I'll ever make. This little boy is adorable,....and spoiled rotten. He's a good kid, though. It's fun to babysit for wealthy families cause they have great toys, the best food, great entertainment (they have just about every DVD out there and a great tv/vcr/dvd system), and of course, great pay. Austin and I made cookies for Father's Day. That was fun...he loved helping me. Getting him ready for bed was entertaining in itself. First there was bath time. Probably the first child I've ever seen not whine and cry when washing their hair. The kid had some great bath toys, let me tell ya. After brushing his teeth, he turned to me and goes, "How does my breath smell?" and then blew air my way....lol. He said his prayers once in bed, asking God to bless all the people he knew, even his new friend. He finished and then in exasperation cried out, "We forgot to bless Jesus!" So then he proceeded to ask God to bless Jesus. I just love the innocence of a child. All the questions about what 10+9 is or 5+100 to dribbling pee down their leg cause they didn't 'aim'. I miss kids so much when I'm at school. It's nice to get some good, quality kid-time in. And then I start thinking....I'm 21...I know I'm single but I sure hope that sometime in the not-to-distant-future, I'll have my own.
