I went and visited my mom on Monday. She has started day care again and had four 2yr olds and two 6month olds. I held the six month old boy and he giggled as I waved hi to him. Babies have that uncoordinated muscle spasm movement that adds weight to their bodies when you hold them. Seeing him smile revived that part inside of me that has always loved being around kids. I think I get that from my mom.
The other children were fun to play with as well. They would watch me and were fascinated with every face I'd make. Running, shaking heads, tumbling is all they needed to have fun. So innocent, and still you can see the emerging personalities that were being imprinted. Shy. Incorrigible. Observant. Independent. I like making them laugh.
I may make Monday visits a "thing."
