Boys.

Sarah looooooves a big boy. Always has.
At age 3 she looked up at me with her big brown eyes and in a breathy voice, dreamily sighed," Mama, I just love big boys."

My mind reeled - flashing forward 13 years to her sixteen year old self saying, in a dreamy, breathy voice, "Mom, I just love boys." My heart nearly stopped.

The good news is she has great taste. Aidan from next door is the man against whom all others shall be measured. He's good natured, fun, silly, cute, has curly hair, is 12 and pays attention to her.

R.J. might be a close second. R.J. is a BIG big boy, clearing 6'2" at 16 years, he plays on the highschool basketball team and is charming to adults and children alike. Even Aidan thinks he's cool. Today I hired R.J. to look after Sarah so I can work. He kept her busy and running all. day. long. Needless to say, she's exhausted at the end of the day.

Side Note:  Boys who babysit eat.  A. Lot.  They also don't pick up before they go home.  They do, however keep 5 year old girls busy busy busy.
