I really can’t believe how nice some people can be. Yesterday, I was working from home all day and when I finally left the house at 4:30 to go babysit my niece & nephew, I opened the door to a wonderful surprise. Someone left a bag of brand new baby boy clothes on our door knob, but there was no note. It was a complete surprise and humbling to know that there are such wonderful people out there. If the very kind person who left the adorable baby clothes reads this blog, we thank you from the bottom of our hearts. That is one of the sweetest things anyone has done for us.

So, onto my next blessings…my niece and nephew. I’m a proud Auntie. They are such precious little children. I got to babysit last night. This was the first time leaving me alone with the Queen. Things were going grand at first. We watched her brother and friends play outside. She loves watching him. It is amazing how she already knows which one is her brother. She wouldn’t take her eyes off him. Then 30 minutes into it…. the crying begins. Kate said she wouldn’t be hungry for another 15-20 min. So, I thought maybe I should check her diaper since she was passing gas the whole time we were outside. Yep, that was it. Dirty diaper # 1. She stopped crying. I thought, I’m in the clear. No such luck. As i was changing her she decided to pee everywhere. (There goes that outfit) and the crying begins again. I decided to leave her in just her diaper since that is what she prefers. That didn’t work, the crying continued. I had to cave and give her the bottle. Then the water wouldn’t boil fast enough. As every minute passed, her crying got louder. As soon as I stuck that bottle in her mouth, she immediately stopped crying and gobbled up that milk so fast that I was praying those 3 oz would fill her up. No such luck. The second the last drop was gone, she started crying again. (Am I really ready for all this???) Then I hear more explosive gas. I thought, are you joking? Do you really have another dirty diaper? Why yes, she did. After I changed that one, I left her completely naked and she was very content until her parents came home. I made it through. Wow, that was a really good dose of what is to come. Thankfully, Josh was a sweetheart and helped me with her.

Off to work….photo organizing. I love my job!
