Life for me just got a little busier. I started watching a 6 week old baby girl. She's cute and content and I LOVE to hold her, but at my house she has lots of other little mothers...4 little mothers. Halle won't leave her alone and the other little girls I watch follow suit.
So rules had to be laid down. Hands must be sanitized before going near the baby. You can't get in her face or touch her face. Only touch her feet. When baby is sleeping you play downstairs. It seems to be working today. Monday, on the other hand, I thought I was going to go crazy with Halle being right next to the baby all day long (even sneaking in when she was napping!!).
Today is a good day. I feel blessed to be able to watch these little ones. Although it's A LOT of work, I feel blessed to be able to stay at home with my kids. I feel blessed that these parents trust me with their priceless treasures. I do my best to care for them and love them as they do. I also do my best to keep Halle in check...let's be honest, that's the hardest part of my job!
Today while "helping" me change a diaper, Halle said, "Wow Nelly", this baby can't do anything, but she sure can poop!"
