Babysitting

Kieron is an uncle. His nephew was born 13 April 2014 and is beautiful.

Kieron likes babies...he likes their littleness, their funny noises, their tiny fingers and toes. One of his closest friends has a little sister and she has always followed Kieron around. He knocks for his friend every morning on the way to school and if I have to work late, goes back there afterwards, playing with the little sister and keeping her amused. Another of Kieron's friends also has a young sister who waddles along after Kieron, trying to get his attention whenever he goes round there.

So tonight, I'm babysitting my baby grandson. He's had a visit to Kieron's room and I've played with some of Kieron's toys with him. I showed him Kieron's school fleece and some of his camels and sharks. I told him that one day, all of these toys would be his. I know that Kieron will like this, because he loves his tiny nephew and Kieron isn't able to play with them anymore.
