{sweet thing}

I learned a lesson today that I have looked over many times before. I was babysitting my younger cousins today but mainly the one who is two. He is a gabber box that doesn't stop unless caiou is on the tv; he even talks while he sleeps. He asks lots of questions, or yells "Sarah watch this" or "Buh-buh- bananas!" He also only has two volumes: louder and loudest (just normal loud doesn't cut it). He is also always in motion and into something he shouldn't be. If you ask him what is name is, he says "Danger."  A few times tonight he would completely stop, look me in the eye and say, "Sarah, I promise." in a very sincere whisper. This caught me off guard because I didn't expect something so reverent from the boy who named himself Danger. He meant what he said even though he never mentioned what he promised, but he promised it. I can be pretty busy sometimes. It seems like I have a few solid productive things, but the majority of my busy is just "gabber." I want to be like my two year old cousin and stop all the nonsense for a moment of reverence and remember what promises I have made such as those found in the Sacrament prayers. He is only two, but he is  onto something ;)
