"Miss. Kari your right on time. Its nice to see you. Please, come in." TK's mother told a nineteen year old Kari who had long mahogany hair and brown eyes. She wore a knee high, pink dress.
Nancy pulled her son out from behind her and told him to introduce himself. The frightened five year old couldn't speak he only gazed up at the young woman who was looking down at him kindly.
"Your not gonna squish me are you?" Asked the child nervously.
"TK!" Nancy said.
"It's alright Mrs. Takaishi. It can't be a little intimidated for a child to meet someone new." Kari stated.
"You have my number if you need anything." TK's mother said just before she said goodbye to her son and exited her apartment.
TK stood there frozen and unable to speak and watched as Kari knelt down to him with a smile.
"I like that design on your shirt." She told him as she pointed to the cartoon character on his chest.
"Him 'Super Rex' he's a cartoon crime fighting dinosaur. I have his action figure." He whispered.
"There's another little boy whom I babysit that likes Super Rex. His name is Davis. The young woman told him. "How about we go to your playroom and play with Super Rex? Would you like that?" She asked.
Tk played with Kari on the floor in his playroom for a while having fun with all his toys.
"Oh! Save me TK! Save me! She giggled as he pretended to be a brave, knight who saved her from a scary dragon.
Tk than wanted to play "hide and go seek." Kari happily covered her eyes as she sat on the playroom floor and counted to ten.
"Ready or not here I come." She proclaimed just before she searched throughout the whole apartment and found TK hiding behind the sofa in the living room.
Kari than turned on the radio that sat on the side of the living room and she danced happily hand in hand to the fast music with the five year old for a while. She picked the boy up in her arms and asked him if he was hungry. He nodded and after she turned off the radio she went to the kitchen and made him a peanut putter and jelly sandwich. They sat on the floor of the living room and played board games and with his many action figures and his toy trucks, legos and play-duo. Kari reached over to him and playfully dabbed a bit of blue paint onto his nose. TK who hands were covered in paint ran his hands through his hair and down his face as he wished to paint himself.
"Come on little guy. I think its bath time for you." She said after she wiped the paint from her hands on a dish towel and carried him off to the bathtub. She gave him a warm bubble bath and washed the paint out his hair and off his face. After she helped TK to get dressed in fresh clothes she noticed that it was noon time and TK had a nap to take.
"Do you want to go lay down little one? I can tell you a nice story." Kari asked as she held him in her arms and they stood in his room.
"Will you lay down and sleepy bye with me?" He inquired.
Kari smiled and went with him to the living room where after she pulled down the window shads she lay down with TK on the couch. He lay atop her with his head against her soft warm chest as she hugged him close and she placed a blanket over them.
"Miss. Kari lady you smell like flowers." The little boy commented as he breathed in her sweet scent. "Your so soft and warm and pretty and beautiful and perfect and amazing in every way!" He commented.
"Oh! Why thank you so much little guy!" She responded kissing his forehead.
Kari than told him a nice story to help him fall asleep as she hugged him close.
