So: The babysitting charge has a nickname (Jumping Bean, he will be known to you as in the future.) I have never seen him even close to that hyper at school. Man. He started out sleeping in Squishy, but couldn't get settled...I finally pulled him into my bed at midnight and he got to sleep around 12:45. I hope his dad is very late picking him up, the poor child...he must be exhausted.

But it is very cool...one of the best experiences of my life...to be the thing that a startled child reaches for at night to reassure himself.

That's really cool that you enjoyed the experience. Kids rock. I'm glad that he was able to get to sleep, but he had such an awesome person to go to, that it's not surprising that everything worked out.

Heh, yes. I've never really wanted to have kids, but when I used to babysit having the youngest one fall asleep on me was lovely in just the same way :-)
