The Little Man in My Life

So one of the many things I enjoy doing is babysitting. I have been lucky to know this very cute boy Caleb through my friends John and Grace at church. He is almost 2 years old, and we met when he was just 2 months old, we're like old buddies now. I probably go over to play with him at least twice a month, and it's been one of the greatest joys in my life. I joke with Grace that I'd rather spend time with Caleb than go out on dates with guys, and it's the honest truth. Not that I have anything against men, but hangout with babies is just pure joy and no heartache. Babies are so innocently curious and joyful that it's very hard not to be happy around them. Even when they cry, I don't find myself being irritated, babies are just the way they are, never pretentious, always unassuming, and they naturally allow you to be yourself as well... I never need to impress them or worry about what they think of me. I am just so lighthearted when I'm around them.

So I'm very excited to be in the life of Caleb, I hope to watch him grow older and see him learn new things and say new words, I'll probably try teaching him chinese too if he wants to learn. He's a very bright and curious boy, so I'm sure he won't have a shortage of hobbies and talents to pick up. We're alike in many ways, we both love food and very curious by nature, very assertive and independent, always like to go outside. My mom tell me that when I was 2 or 3, I'm always begging to go play outside and I would tell her that I'll just stand outside for a few moments, but she says as soon as I'm out the door, she can't find me for hours, cause I'm off playing with the boys again. I miss being a kid, so now I play with them to help myself remember how fun childhood is and should be for every child.
