Living a kid's pace

I am sitting in the extra room at my parents-in-law's home reflecting on the past week. Tomorrow's the big drive home! Laying next to me, the deep breathing of my sleeping neice, Lily, calms me.

I love being an Aunt! Lily and Sophia bring me so much joy! Lily turns two tomorrow and Sophia is seven months! This past week has been spent around the girls clock: playing, eating (kid stuff of course), napping, changing diapers, traveling (between the two car seats;), and, of course, cuddling! I have gotten more slobbery kisses this week than I can count, and all of them well received!

Kids are amazing. Inventive. Fun. And hungry to learn! It's fun to see my neices develop! For example, Lily has been talking a lot! It's impressive...she's moving from single words to forming sentences and, at times, I can almost have a conversation with her! She's great at communicating her needs! Sopie also talks, or should I say babbles, quite a bit, especially when she's happy.

An amazing thing about children is, when you're with them, you almost feel as though you are reliving your childhood! I feel as though it is God's perfect design so that we remain youthful inside! I love teaching and learning with children, most of all my neices! I am excited too that my new job will bring me close to them! By God's grace, being with the girls helps me forget about my hurt. Happy days ahead. Perhaps some day I'll have my own.
