Worn Out!
Started babysitting my DGD this week and I am exhausted! You forget how much work a two month old is. She is really a good baby but feeding every three hours doesn't leave much time for sewing...lol.

LOL! Trade you for 3 ages 4-9! At least they feed themselves. Just kidding. I started quilting to have something that didn't come undone everyday when I started having kids.
What a blessing for her parents to have a grandmother care for her!

I get it! Mine are 4 and 2, a day with them and I need a day to recover almost. But I love it, keeps you young. I have started helping out my niece one day a week- she has 1 month old twins- now that's busy!

I understand! I feel very blessed to be retired and fairly (!) young and have the opportunity to care for my grandson. He's now 7 months and I started when he was 3 months. Mom works M-F and Dad works shift work, so at most I have him 2 days a week. I know if I had him every day I would be overwhelmed. As it is, 2 days a week leaves me trying to find time for myself. I never was a very fast quilter--now I get hardly any quilting done. But still, I wouldn't trade this time with him for the world. They aren't babies very long! I can quilt when he goes to school.

....I too watch a GGD overnite Sunday/Monday due to parents work schedule....she is now 3 1/2 yrs and have done this since she was a babe in arms........it has really fascinated me too no end watching her develop mentally and physically....one could almost hear those wheels turning as she accepted and worked out situations, conversation in her mind.....why I did not really see in depth the same things in my own children---- too busy with being wife, housekeeper, chief cook and bottle washer ...and grands...did not see them as often I guess. So I really have enjoyed her and look forward to our weekly adventure together...I hope she will have good memories of me later in her life.
