when they call you a good baby/kid

when they say “you’re too little to do that” and just do it instead

their voices

their touch full of care

the daddy/mommy stare they give you when you’re in trouble

how patient they are even after you’ve been very bratty

but also how they know when you’re out of limits and need to give you a punishment

when they pick up your paci just so they can put it in your mouth and say “come here, let me take care of you”

when they put on your socks and shoes for you

how they open all the doors for you

how everything is better, happier and more fun when they’re around

when they’re sad and know you’re there to give them support

just like when you’re sad they’ll always be there for you

how much reliable they are

how caring and sweet they are

how strong and such an example they are for their regressor(s)

their eyes, their smell, their hands… ah… their hands! and all the perfect expressions they do as a response for every little thing you do

when they call you “butthead” or “silly/dork” just so they can see you pout and then call you cute

when they always grab your hands when crossing the street, because they want to protect you

how they pay attention to what you like and dislike just so they do what’s best for you

everything. they exist.

caretakers are so good and deserve all the appreciation. they’re there for us and do everything they can. thank you, every caregiver out there. we know how hard you all try too!
