I love kids ^^

One of the best feelings ever, is being a kid's comfort.

Christ's love is one that we always get and is the main source of joy in a Christians life.  But that doesn't mean there aren't other joys in life that come and go, they're simply just not the foundation for our joy.

One of those joys for me is kids.  Kids may not love you if you don't give them certain things, but then I find that they're not very demanding.  They just want some of your time, maybe some of your adult strength to pick them up or throw them, maybe some silliness to make them laugh.  I can afford all of those ^^

One time I was babysitting some of the Berean kids and Hope socked Kailyn in the eye. (which was accidental but also awesome)  Totally ready to cry, she stuck out her arms to be held, so I picked her up and she was totally fine.  It was awesome, thats all she needed to be happy.  Then again she's pretty mean to me when she doesn't need me.  But that aside, I love when kids put out their arms to be held.  And I can't help but think, children are so simple to please, its awesome, I wish I could be like them in that aspect.  Unfortunately I think adults are the same way, but with discouragement.  (That is not to say kids are content, because they never are.... actually adults aren't either..... mmmm no one is totally content it seems)  We are so hard to please, and so easily defeated.  The thing with kids is they totally forget what was bothering them, but we hold on to our bitterness.  Obviously with Kailyn, if it was the pain that was making her cry, it wouldn't have mattered that I picked her up, but when I did, she didn't care that she got punched she was just happy to have the attention that she asked for.

Anyways that was a long way to getting to the story I wanted to tell.  Yesterday Caedmon put up his arms to be held, very specifically to me.  Loro says he knows who I am since I've babysat him a bit, so I was pretty stinkin happy.  He's so stinkin cute.  Unfortunately, as easily as a child is satisfied, I was crushed, when officer Jo pointed out that Caedmon was actually very intent on my chicken bake and not me :(  Rejected!  Oh well, I would have given him my chicken bake anyway, not like he coulda finished it anyway.  Well.....
