Hide & Seek

Ask any kid I've babysat. I'm THE coolest babysitter ever.

When I grow up, I want to be a mom.

Why?

I love kids.

I love pretending like I'm a kid.

I love the laughter.

the simplicity.

the questions.

the wonder.

the amazement.

and coloring.

I love making friends with random kids at the park that say "Hey! Can you push me on the swing?" and then tell me their whole life story.

I love their view on the world.

and their innocence.

I love their windblown hair and their grubby little fingers.

I just love kids.

Which is why I babysit a lot.

Most Saturdays, I'm hanging out people half my age.

It's okay, they like me more than the big kids anyways.

...

Sometimes, we play games.

Like hide and seek.

and sometimes they hide in weird places.

(and get stuck)

Obviously if I was as good of a babysitter as the kids say I am, I would have helped her out of the laundry basket instead of taking a picture.

Don't worry, she made it out uninjured.
