Kara is the little girl I have babysat twice a week for over four years. I have cycled several kids in and out of babysitting, but Kara (and her brother Jacob) have been the ones that have gelled the best with our family. The dynamics just work for us on Mondays and Wednesdays. I do love the time I get to spend with her, the house gets an extra shot of estrogen twice a week – it’s great.
My friend Dana, Kara’s mom, sent me this email a couple of days ago and I thought it was the sweetest thing ever. Here’s what it said:
I had to email you before I forgot this. Yesterday when Jacob was napping,
I heard the sweetest thing come out of my daughter’s mouth. She was
playing hard core with her barbies, and all of a sudden went into prayer.
It went something like this. “Dear God. I really want you to give Ms Jill
a baby girl. She really really needs one. Thanks.”
Adorable. She might just know what’s best for me or maybe she thinks that they’ll be Barbies at my house if I have a girl. If Kara can promise that the baby girl will come out with her sweet personality and excitement about everything under the sun – I’ll take her.
F.Y.I. I won’t know till July….
