looking after baby

i babysit A for a couple hours all by my own self.


here is what we do on a loop:

totter up the steps and come down the slide

look for the turtles who are stubbornly hiding in the crevice

roll the ball to each other

fling the wine glass tokens and gather them back


all in 15 minutes.

the rest of the hours pass by verrrrry slowly.

i begin to realize that baby A is the impish tornado of thermodynamic energy that God sends to keep me from becoming fossilized in neatness and order.
