If anyone knows me they know I love babies and small children. I have babysat since I was 12 years old and here I am almost 21 years old and still doing it. I love it! I'd take hanging out with babies over a night out any day. It's an amazing experience to be able to watch a baby grow, even when he's not your own. My neighbor and one of my closest friends had a baby almost two years ago and it was a life-changing moment for both of us. Having babies is the greatest experiences in the world, having friends with babies is even greater because it's like you get to have a baby too! There are so many perks to having a friend with child

1. You learn so much about babies and their growth processes.

2. You get to see them reach all their major milestones like sitting up, crawling, and walking.

3. You can go out with them and still be back home and in bed before 9pm.

4. Most of the time hanging out consists of fun things like movies, playing outside, and eating yummy food at their houses.
