we danced, did gymnastics, and ate pepperoni and yogurt together. delicious. babysitting normally consists of dancing. like the entire time. we've passed the days where lyd, em, and i would dance to "Jesus loves me," and have moved on to dancing to switchfoot, chris tomlin, and brandon heath. mmm. delightful. the littlest boy, ezra(ezzie) is 2. he gets rather tortured, as his sisters like to dress him up in ballet outfits, dresses, makeup, and fingernail polish. poor little guy.
lydia, em and i have many conversations. they go like this.
#1 me: em, whats your favorite color? em: red! me: lydia, whats your favorite color? lyd: tacie whats your favorite color? me: blue, green, and brown. lyd: oh, mines blue, green and brown too!!
#2 me: emily, what do you want to be when you grow up? em: a princess. with pink hair. me: oh thats nice! lydia, what do you want to be? lyd: tacie, what do you want to be? me: a missionary. i want to tell people about Jesus in india. lyd: yup, thats what i want to be too! a missionary!! in india, of course. tacie, we're like the same person!
mm, i think you get the picture. strange how small children want to be exactly like you. :D but at the same time, i always get this warm fuzzy feeling inside me, and want to just be with those dear littles ones all day, every day. hmm. whos watching you?
in the car on the way back, just as i was feeling all sad that i wouldnt get to see those little kids for a long time again, the music started playing. some jason gray song. quite marvelous, actually. a second later i was singing at the top of my lungs, pounding the wheel of the car, dangerously close to the sides of the road. (yes sides. one at a time). the perfect feeling ever, of being by yourself and singing crazily simply because you can and you dont care what anyone thinks of you. good thing its only a two minute drive. ;)
follow Jesus today, dear ones. :)
