Little hands

That tiny voice  "pweeeease" spitting out those words with her chubby lips begging for one more cracker.
He's running! Actually running... to me! Into my arms and I feel his tiny body leap in to my arms! It's been 2 years since these two have entered the world.
                                     They are so curious... so clumsy... so free... so adventurous and unafraid.
                                     Someday when I have little ones I want them to explore the way Marin and Evan do.
                                     These two have inspired me to return to my ways of uncharted waters,
                                     To stay spontanious, run amuck, laugh so hard, and just live!

I don't believe people realize the extent children lives lead. We as grown adults believe they are learning so much from us, which yes they are, but in a sense they are here to teach us! To let us explore, get dirty, giggle again at silly things. I love that about being a nanny and babysitter. To return to my innocence of a loving, forgiving world.

I plan to wait till my 30's for babies. I'm excited for that chapter but till then nanny-ing is teaching me so much. Patience, maturity, forgiveness, appreciation, etc. I feel so blessed to have this talent with children. I plan to explore my life a little more for sake that someday I can teach my little ones about this big world. How precious it is for them to learn with me. I can watch through their eyes as well as in my own. Create a human being of love and courage. I was raised with a tough child hood so when that time comes it will be my chance to be a better mommy, to show an example of a healthy, stable, supportive lifestyle. I will be better then my mom and I will learn from my dad's mistakes. I will be disciplined yet understanding, a great mommy. For now I'm aunty MJ(mandy) or nanymandy :)
