Babysitting is FUN!





I LOVE babysitting! When I was a teenager, that was synonymous to making a little extra cash, but now it´s just plain fun...especially when the baby you are babysitting is your very own niece! Julia stayed with us for a couple of hours one morning, then again tonight while her mommy and daddy were having their anniversary dinner in a restaurant right next to our house. Emily was Ms. Mommy, wanting to hold her, change her diaper, make her feel comfortable and watching her every move, while Eric was more intrigued by the baby toys that came with Julia´s "stuff". Needless to say (you know, I´ve wondered about this expression...if you don´t 'need' to say it, why do we say it???), I was revisiting motherly/baby instincts and feelings, wondering what our life would be like if we had another one. Of course I would love to have another baby...but having a business to run and having a tiny little one who depends solely on you...doesn´t fit my ideal. So for now, I have decided to enjoy every little moment that little Julia is around
