Julie lost her first tooth today. Will she suddenly seem more grown-up? Heather will tell you that at Julie's age now (6 1/2), Heather was babysitting three younger siblings. Life is definitely different when your youngest is potty-trained, goes to school, and reads. I babysat a 1-year-old last week, and put him on my bed to change his diaper. Yep-- you guessed it -- he peed on my bed while I was getting the new diaper. You'd think I would have remembered that part about boy babies... Anyway, it's exciting and (according to Dave) a little sad to see our younger ones get bigger every day. Sunrise, Sunset, ad infinitum.
It's true. I had Matt, Kathryn and Daniel to deal with when I was Julie's age. Not that I did much babysitting, I'm sure.
ReplyDeleteBut way to go Mom. 20 years of having a baby at home is no small feat to have conquered. Now you can look forward to grandkids that you can give back when they start to cry. :) (Yay Kathryn!)
Gee, I remember that about boy babies. I guess I've been thinking about babies more than you recently though. Julie is lucky that you were willing to have so many kids. You're a great mom.
ReplyDeleteWhy is Julie upside-down?
