Who's so crazy?

Today I got to babysit my 10-month-old nephew, TJ, for eight hours.  His paternal grandmother babysits him two days a week so she and that side of the family get to see him a lot more than we do, so I complained to my sister recently and she said we could babysit today.  She starts some grad school classes this week and so we're actually going to get to babysit him a little more so she has time for her schoolwork (her husband works long hours, manual labor, so really long days).  I'm very excited about this.  As I've mentioned before, he's the only kid I've ever really enjoyed and my enjoyment of him increases just more and more.

I've always thought that the time between around 8 months and 2-3 yrs old is the most fun and so far TJ proves it.  He's not walking on his own yet, but he can walk if he's pushing this stand-up toy car he has (one of those ones you can ride on, too).  He loves to be lifted up in the air or swung around.  If you go, "Who's so CRAZY??" he screams and bounces up and down.  If you say, "I'm gonna get you!!" he screams and crawls away.  He's just a world of fun and I cannot wait to have even more time with him - I just can't get enough!  Never have I enjoyed spending time with a child in this way.  If/when my hubby and I have kids, they'll have TJ to thank for their existence because he's really proved to me that kids are a joy, despite all the hard work.

That dazzling smile.
