back to work

This week I have gained yet another reason for appreciating parents, only this time it is for parents that have more than one child. I have gone "back to work" so to speak this week as I started caring for my little niece as well as my little one.

I figure this is good prep for having more kids down the road, and a way that I can contribute financially for our family. My cherished naps are a thing of the past, and early bed times are a must. But all in all, things are going well as I have survived my first week caring for two sweet little babies.
I have to explain this one, bay was playing with my flip flops and somehow got it stuck on his leg, it was really funny because he left it there for awhile until it made him mad when he tried to crawl across the room.

Hahaha that's too funny! I love the stuck flip flop.

You can do it. The especially challenging thing about your situation is that the babies are so close together! I think it's amazing that you do it, and I am sure you do it WELL. The good news is, when/if you guys have another baby, your kids definitely won't be that close together in age! At least by that time, the oldest one can feed themselves and stuff.

Emma is lucky having Aunt Rachel to tend her because it was evident to me that you really love her and enjoy watching her learn new things and make new sounds. I was glad I got to spend that day with you and get to meet Emma and see her cute little personality. Bay just makes me smile....what a little funny boy! He is growing up too fast for his Grandma too. In fact why are all my grandkids growing up so fast?
