Time for a tubby! Yay!


Yeah, so kids make life so much better. As I chased my soon-to-be niece down the hall towards the bathroom (half-naked singing the ABCs no less), I realized they've got it all figured out. I dread getting up in the morning and having to shower...she thinks taking baths (eh hem, also known as a tubby) is the coolest thing ever! I just want to take a nap...she wants to stay up and live every moment she can! I try to ask as few questions as possible (being inquisitive is sometimes exhausting)...her favorite word right now is "WHY?" She is curious about everything... Wow. Sure she is only 2 and doesn't have a very expensive liberal arts education under her belt (for Pete’s sake she can't even speak in complete sentences yet!), but, she seems to be one step ahead of me when it comes to enjoying the small things in life. After two hours of babysitting I am of course exhausted,though at the same time rejuvenated. She breathes life into me after working all week and living the "grown up" life. Thanks, Jenna. Aunt He-rey loves you! :)
