Aww....

I used to babysit just about every day to earn a living. I was a nanny by day, babysitter by night. One family has stayed in contact and asks me to sit once a month or so. I have known this little boy since I worked in the daycare, when he was 2 years old. He is now a 5 year old and very smart. His parents are both extremely intelligent and have definitely encouraged his growth. Anyways, this little boy has a long standing fascination with wheels and gears and things that spin. He used to turn over strollers and spin the wheels. He informed me that he had learned how to knit and weave and showed me his projects. I decided to bring over my spinning wheel when I went over to watch him and show him how to spin. He LOVED it. We spun all night and I even showed him how to dye with Kool aid. His parents have emailed me to say that he is obsessed with spinning wheels now and keeps making not so subtle ploys to get one of his own!
