If there is one thing my girls share with me is the love of sweet babies. Now as I have gotten a bit older (HUSH 33 is hardly old) and well 4 kids later I am pretty ok with not having any more of my own babies. Yet to snuggle, cuddle and kiss on someone we know littlest child is pure bliss. Today both my girls had the pleasure to do just that. #2 an avid baby watcher demonstrated her learned skills of holding, carrying and playing with a little one. Baby Michael is nearly 6 months old so he can handle a flip, flop or two. She didn't really have any moments that worried his momma or I though. Heck, she ignored beloved cousin much of the time he was present. All the while littlest daughter of mine took pleasure in keeping an eye on him in many wrong ways just to disturb me. She took toys away from him, and "checked" in on him while napping which resulted in waking him up. Funny how competition with big sister changes the attitude.
In these moments, topic of having another would make my girls happy stirs up the emotion that I am done only for now. That sometime way in my future I may do it all again for someone else's child. Alas, I don't wrap my mind around this too often for there are plenty of challenges ahead, like where am I gonna work come fall?
For now I will sit here and smile in the knowledge that I will have grand babies some day to show what their mothers looked like here!
ohhhh that is awesome!!!
