When I see you every day I say "Mm-mm"
Nov. 29th, 2013 10:11 pmIt may surprise you (or, at least, any of you who have met me) to hear that I spent last week looking after a baby. Yes, a real one.
Some of you know, or will readily deduce, who the baby belongs to, but let's leave it anonymous. We'll call the baby Ginny. She's a year old, and her parents had a slightly unexpected childcare shortfall. I wasn't working, so offered to step in - and to my immense surprise was taken up on it. People are willing to trust me with sole care of a baby? The fools :)
Anyway. I popped over for a couple of days the preceding week to remind Ginny who I was, as she hadn't seen me in a few weeks. She seemed happy hanging out with me, and willing to trust me to feed her and so on. Her parents reported that she sleeps soundly at night, and I've observed before that she is a very smiley baby whom I've rarely heard cry. How hard could it be?
