We have our first daycare baby starting next
month and she came over for a few hours yesterday as a practice
run. Practice for me, my kids, her, and her mommy. We all need
some practice! She came right at nap time, which was tough, but
good since that’s the hardest part of the day. I was expecting
her to be fussy (she’s a baby, after all) and Lex to be
difficult (like I said, nap time), but what I was not expecting
was Eve to be jealous. That’s right, jealous! We were all
sitting on the floor reading stories and baby started crying. I
picked her up and Eve immediately reached for me and started
being fussy. It was so funny. Baby cried a lot and Eve cried
and Lex ran free. I ended up nursing Eve to sleep, rocking baby
in her carseat, and Lex got no nap. Like I said, we all need
some practice! Eve only took about a half hour nap (usually she
sleeps for a few hours). When she woke up, baby’s mommy was
back and Eve was all smiles. She kept looking at baby and then
giving me big hugs. She’s so mellow, but I guess there is a
jealous streak in there. So funny.
