Little Visitor

My best friend Julyssa and her husband Adam went on a long awaited trip (they've been wanting to go ever since they got married) to Guatemala. While they are gone we get to watch their darling little baby, Dylan for two weeks. He is such a good baby! He hardly ever cries and is such a delight to have around. We've had him for a week so far and the girls just love him. Eve had a really hard time sharing her mommy the first few days (and still does on occasion) but now she seems to enjoy having Dylan around. She asks where he is when he's asleep and then insists that it's time to wake him up. She also makes him laugh harder than any of the rest of us can! From day one Grace has taken on the job of little mommy. Whenever we go somewhere she tells people that we have a new baby. I have to then explain to my puzzled friends or acquaintances that we are just babysitting. Both girls love coming with me to get Dylan out of his crib after a nap, feeding him his bottle, and taking turns holding him.

Even with him being such an angel baby, it is still quite a challenge to take care of three kids! I have such an appreciation for people who have three...or even more..wow! How do they do it?! I do know we're given the capacity to do things when we need it. Even in just a week's time it has gotten easier (having said that I'm afraid that I've just jinxed myself and tomorrow I'll pay for it! j/k) I'm actually really grateful that I have this opportunity to do this for my dear friend. I hope she's having a good time!
