I'm still laughing
Yesterday I was watching 3/4s of Friend From High School's kids while she and her husband moved out of her parents basement. Obviously Devil Child was not there (and his was the only kids room they didn't unpack yesterday, no subtlety there). The kids I watched were 7, 3 and 2 and so I just spent the day doing stuff that I used to do with my kids. It was kind of nice to relive those days for an afternoon and my kids were there as well, watching.
I told them this was the stuff I used to do with them all the time (go to the park, play with flour, play with toys) but they were too little to remember. C-10 really impressed me. Years ago he gave himself the title "King of the Babies" because little babies adore him and follow him around. I was pushing the 3-year-old on the swing and the 2-year-old wandered to the play structure. C-10 followed him (without any comment on my part) helped him up the stairs, carried him over the slick bridge, led him to the slide, went down the other slide and caught him at the bottom. Made me so proud!
But the funniest moment was when T-12 was helping me sweep up flour and she turned to me and said, "You know, you would make a really good mo--" and then she realized what she was about to say and muttered "nevermind" and walked away.
Lol, so reassuring to know that my kid thinks that someday, if I ever have babies, I'll be a good mom!
