Never before have I become choked up with babysitting, yet tonight while babysitting my cousins, Anna and Evan I got emotional.
Evan had knocked down one of Anna's buildings, so I took him aside and talked to him about what he had done wrong. I then asked him what the best thing would be to do. He answered (I don't know if out of heart or just wanting to go play again) that apologizing to Anna is what he needed to do. I told him that that would be the right thing to do, and to throw a hug in there as part of his apology. Needless to say he gave Anna of the most sincere apologies I have ever seen a four year old give. It brought me to tears watching the two. I had to remove myself from the room, where I sat on the stairs wondering what I desired more: a brother or children to call my own.
