It has been almost six years since I last had an infant. It has been almost five years since I have changed a diaper. One thing is for sure-you never forget how to take care of a baby, you just forget how much time it takes. I watched baby Emerson and Josh for Jill today while they went to a wedding. First of all they are great kids, Josh and Koda were playing so well together that I almost forgot Josh was here! Eme is a GREAT baby, she smiled almost the entire time! I made the kids grilled cheese with Eme on my hip. We stayed in our pajamas most of the day-it was just like old times when I had three kids under THREE-how did I survive? I may never know!
Babies make you slow down and enjoy the little things in life. Although I enjoy that my kids are getting older, and that they can do a lot of things for themselves, I realized I miss a lot of things about having a baby around. I miss the smell of their breath, the way the smallest thing makes them smile, feeding time when they just look at you, and you wonder what they are thinking. I could go on and on... the kids LOVED having a baby in the house. I am sure poor Eme thought who are these kids that have been inches from my face all day! Bailia read her stories, while Jaden played his flutophone for her~she was memorized by both! It was a great way to start our Christmas Break~relaxed and ready for the next few weeks of laziness!
