Babysitting

This weekend I had the wonderful opportunity to hang out with Ruby (almost 4) and Atticus (almost 2) from Friday evening to Saturday afternoon. Their family gives me rides to church most Sundays, and I really enjoy spending time with them. Paul and Danielle wanted a weekend getaway, and I was more than happy to stay with the kids for a night. We had a great time watching a movie, brushing teeth, reading books, taking a long walk and hanging out in downtown Fort Langley. 

Ruby reminds me of myself because she is always asking questions. When I spend time with her, I know what my friends feel like when they hang out with me, especially when we are watching movies! haha Atticus does not talk very much, but he communicates enough to get his point across. For a linguist like me, it was fascinating to see how he communicates even with very limited language skills. 

We had a good weekend, and I got to see the kids - and their parents - this morning at church. I really enjoy spending time with this family, and I am glad they let me be part of their lives.
