My friend Sarah asked me to watch her son yesterday as her sitter was out of town. Brody is 4.5 months old, born a week shy of Caleb's first birthday! I have to say I was a bit nervous, but was delighted to offer my help to a good friend. Plus it would give me practice for when the time comes to care for two kids! Brody is a wonderful baby. Barely makes any peeps, except smiles and laughter when Caleb would entertain him. He slept twice for about 15 minutes which was not usual behavior. He did not care for the swing as much as he did my sling! He loved hanging out, attached to my hip!
I must admit it became a bit stressful when it was feeding time for Brody, only because Caleb would need something and I couldn't really manage both at the same time. Caleb was a great help to me though. When changing Brody's diaper, he brought me his toy without being asked. He liked to help push the swing and make him laugh. When it was time for Brody to go home, he waved bye bye to his little friend.
Today after breakfast, Caleb walked around the living room looking for "baby." It was so cute. He loves babies! I get to watch Brody again next week for another day, but I welcome the practice. I give much credit to mom's of multiple children! It is hard work!
