While I know that we are nowhere ready to have kids yet, I got such baby fever last night!!
Aaron and I babysat for some cousins who were in town last night. We had an 11 year old (who quickly informed me that she was too old for a babysitter), her 4 year old brother, and their 2 year old cousin. I had babysat for the 11 year old since she was 3, but Aaron didn't know them. Watching Aaron with them made my uterus jump. He was awesome with them. He had the 4 year old boy attached to him within 5 minutes. The 2 year old loves me, but even as recently as the wedding was scared of Aaron, which we think is because of the beard. Last night not only did she talk to him and play with him, but he finally got his first hug from her (big considering we have lived in the same city for a year now).
Not only did I love seeing how he is with the children, but I could also see the partner that I am going to have in raising kids. When the 2 year old finished eating I took her from the table and let her have some one-on-one time with me before the others finished. By the time I came back Aaron had cleared off our dishes while the other were still eating. Plus we both agreed at pretty much the same moment when certain games had to end because they had gotten out of hand.
I have seen him with kids before but never quite to this extent. I have never been so excited to watch him be a daddy and the father to my children. ![]()
Re: Baby Fever!
Aww! My HH is great with kids too =]. My little sister was 4 or 5 when we started dating and he's always been great with her. He wrestles around with her now and she loves him. I've started getting baby fever a little myself here recently after spending so much time with a 1 1/2 year old my mom babysits. She is the cutest baby I've ever seen!
