Enthralled
I visited my sis yesterday
Whilst she was babysitting her two grandkids ages 3 and 5
My grandkids are grown
I had forgotten what it was like with the little ones
They never stop moving
Like being in a whirlpool
They twirl and talk and laugh and inquire
Like dancing dervishes
Round and round
Lift up the compost lid to see the array of smelly food inside
Crawl through the doggie door pretending to be a cat
Bury little Lego people under rocks until they are rescued by the little Lego guy who doesn't die
Bump the grown ups' feet with the red and yellow Little Tikes car
Oh my
It is so much fun
I want to be like them
Joyful energetic engaged excited
Ok I'll settle for watching them
Enthralled
Until time to say goodbye to my sis
Out the front door I go
To the still, quiet world
Goodbye for now little ones
