Baby Smiles

Today I was babysitting the cutest little baby ever. After twenty minutes of adorable cooing, this little beanbag started to pout and cry. I tried everything to calm her down, but neither the baby blue binky nor my heart-wrenching version of “Winnie the Pooh” would calm her down. Suddenly she got a distressed look on her face. I was about to drop everything and call 911 when something both disgusting and precious happened. The little pumpkin let out a toot and then spit up down my shirt. After she performed these gastrointestinal acrobatics she looked up at me and smiled just the cutest baby smile I have ever seen. As my heart turned to mush I realized that life would be so great if our biggest problems could be solved by a little toot and a little spit up. 

Thanks for the smiles, baby.
