Big Dreams

In the quiet times ....

I think. 

A lot!

 Random thoughts, 

troubleshooting life's dilemmas, 

planning,

reminiscing, 

 and contemplating how fortunate I am. 

Recently, in doing all of the above, I was remembering back to my young self. 

A young girl 

that loved kids and babies

too young, in others minds, to be considered a baby sitter. 

 My friends were already babysitting. 

They were the older siblings of large families. 

Perhaps that fact made them more desirable. 

 I would dream of all the tools I needed.

high chairs

pack n plays

walkers

toys

trucks

dolls 

 I would use the sun room in our home to make a fun place to babysit.

And....then

 it came to me

 My young girl dreams came true! 

 I lived this dream. 

Not so much as a young girl.

 In fact,

 long after my own babies were grown.

Sparked by the need for someone to watch a new sweet baby boy.

More were added until I had a house full, 

of sweet babies!

With a yard full of toys and rooms packed with toys, 

pack n plays, 

cribs, 

high chairs

and some of the sweetest kids ever, 

I spent my days doing just what I had wanted many years ago.

Braeden, Mackenzi, Nathan, Toria, Alison, Tori, Hannah, Jaina, Niko, Izel, Avery, Anthony and Michael. 

Dreams do come true. 

I have been blessed!
