New Babysitter

Last night, Duane's company had their Christmas party. Grandma wan't available to babysit, so we had the 6th grade girl from around the corner come over. Dax has been waving to Taylor as she walked to/from the bus stop all school year. A couple months ago he really got to know her at our neighborhood block party. At that party, he kept grabbing her hand and walking away with her, sitting in her lap, etc. He definitely has a crush on her. Well, when she showed up at the house last night, Dax was still eating his dinner. And when he saw her, he lit up like a pinball machine. He then looked at us with wonder and joy as if to say, "You brought her here? For me? This is the best Christmas ever!" Needless to say, he wouldn't eat another bite. As soon as we got him clean and down, he ran right over to her and just stared up at her, with a goofy smile on his face. Finally, Duane suggested he show Taylor some of his toys. He jumped into action and started rifling thru his toy box. He found a book, patted the couch for Taylor to come sit down, and then he crawled into her lap so she could read to him. We barely got a wave goodbye. He is IN LOVE.
