Everyone who knows me knows that I love little ones. On most Sundays, I am typically found mauling a baby or toddler at church. I have recently even signed up for nursery duty once a month. Might as well!
There are even times when I take a child or two home with me to enjoy for the afternoon, between services. They bring me great joy. Usually I'm pretty wiped out, but its fun.
Tonight, I will be taking a little baby girl home with me to keep overnight. Her name is Miley and she is just about 10 months old or so. I had told her mother recently that if there was a time here and there when she needed help with her girls, to let me know.
I haven't kept a baby overnight in.....well never. Except my own. So that would be 11 years ago that I had a baby that age. Alec will be twelve in less than two months.
And most people who know me also know that I LOVE to sleep. Naps are a favorite as well as sleeping in on Saturdays.
But it's okay. Change things up a bit for my old self.
When going over the baby's schedule and such the other night she told me, "Oh, and she does sleep all night."
I said, "Good! Because so do I!"
And you can read all about it in my next post.

Happy first day of spring everyone.
