Babysitting

Today I took the day away from my students to spend time with my neice. My sister in law was at the hospital having a baby (yeah) and I took care of the little one at home.

I loved it! She is quite the knucklehead, but it's fun. It is amazing to me, that magical moment in a girl's life when she crosses over from "I love Dora" to "oooooohhhhh....Princesses and the Prince!" It makes my day. She even runs across the room and fake cries to be funny, the way Sleeping Beaut throws herself across the bed to cry at the injustice of being a princess who can't meet up with her mystery man from the woods. I can't wait to partake in this magical motherhood stuff... one of these days I suppose, when He's ready.
