These days, I've been hanging out with a lot of one year olds... Especially one. I babysit this oh so sweet little girl with soft curls and a vibrant smile. I've come to notice many things about children this age, and about the people around them. My little girl is intensely interested in the Baby Einstein videos, it's funny to watch her laugh at them. She loves grapes and cheese, staying up late, and petting her Labrador. She throws a fit when I put her to sleep, but she finally gives up after a while and snoozes off. This child brings light into my opaque world.
I was at my nieces 1 yr old birthday party this weekend, and I got to hold her for the first time. Her bright green eyes and rosy cheeks captivated all those who saw her. I look around me and EVERYBODY wants to hold her; people stretch their arms out to her in hopes that she too wants to be held. I noticed that those who held her didn't want to give her to someone else either; people don't like to share babies. Why is it that we are so entertained by these kids? I know why I am: babies give unconditional love- this is something I desperately yearn for.
