I Think Kids Say the Cutest Things

Lessons from a six year old..

One of my younger sisters is a nanny for family with two children. Both parents work, and don't have the time during the day to spend with their kids, so she was hired to do so. She told me about a walk that she was taking with the children, and the little girl was stopping to smell every flower that she came across, including ones that don't have any kind of scent at all. My sister said, "Kiki, those flowers don't smell." And the little girl responded, "Have you smelled every flower?" My sister said "No." And the girl said "Well the ones that you don't stop to smell are probably the ones that smell the best, so smell all the flowers!!"

I used to be a nanny for three little girls for 9 years. Precious days. I only did it two days a week, because I owned my own cleaning business, but being with those kids was the highlight of my week. The youngest one once told me that even though I'm not family, it's okay to love her anyway. I thanked her and said I would be happy to love her. I already did. I was the first person to hold her after she was born, except for her mother.

Aww! That's really sweet!! The kids I look after are 24/7 and their parents are never really here, plus they're brats. It's only been a month but I'm getting attached to the little one already...
