Met my 2nd cousins little girl last night...

Got to meet my cousin’s daughters daughter. That was confusing just writing that. I guess she is my 3rd cousin or my cousin twice removed. Which means a 2nd cousin is once removed? I have never had a cousin have a kid who had a kid it’s something else and very new to me…

Anyways. Her daughter is 7 months old and her mom is 22. While this is a cute baby you have to feel bad she has no father in her life as her mom is not married. So yeah there’s that…

I sadly did not get to hold her. But I was able to calm her down. A few times this little girl would look at me while crying and stop for a few seconds before crying again but if she held my eye contact I could keep her looking.

I didn’t know I was a baby whispered till I was working for Children’s Place back in 2008. I had already done what I always do several times, calm babies down, because who wants to see or hear a crying baby it’s just sad! Then a lady said it to me after I had done so to her baby. She joked with me. “You are a baby whisper! My mom is one too. Can you come babysit for me?” she said with a smile. I knew she was kidding.

From then on out I realized I had a way with kids I could calm them down. I have no idea why I have this or if I will be able to have my own kids to do this to. But it’s a nice thing to know for the future. Just call me baby whisper. It’s not official but it’s still something else.

Now if I could only meet my other cousins two girls I would be happy. Unsure when that will happen but hey slowly getting around to this…

Tonight hung out with our babysitters little boy...

Tonight my sister’s babysitter had to bring her 9 month old son over. He is an absolute joy to be around! First off I was unsure how I would be around a little boy I seem to be cool with girls but boys yeah. But I loved him. And guess what he loved me too!

As in he took right to me. She commented a few times how he doesn’t normally take to “strangers he never met before” but he took right to me. He was pretty quiet letting me hold him, drooling on me, hugging my arm and reaching for me when she held him out a few times. He actually preferred me sometimes to her. It was the cutest thing I have ever seen.

I held him for a long time even sitting with him. I didn’t have any food to give him just a toy. I loved holding him. He had that baby smell. And I was in love with this little boy who is not even mine.

Again I sighed as he was taken away. I had only a few hours with him I was in love from the first moment. Again reminded that babies love me, I am so good with kids and a baby whisper. But again I know I am unsure if I can have kids or when I will get that chance.

I’ve been wanting kids forever and ever and it hasn’t gone away. I figure if I have wanted this since I was a little kid and even all those stories about having kids and being pregnant and being around ladies who are during and after hasn’t scared me then I am good. I want kids!

Thanks to our baby sitter for this experience. I am glad to have it under my belt. I can be a great baby friend with boys and girls. He’s a charmer I am sure he will be a bit flirt when he gets older a heart breaker. What a cutie. I am glad we had some fun tonight!
