Bridget's Ramblings: Babysitting

WELCOME to my blog!!

It has been approximately 2 years since I regularly updated, but recently I began missing my blogging. I have gone against "the rules of blogging" by simply naming my blog "Bridget's Ramblings". It goes against the rules because you are supposed to choose one topic that you are passionate about and write about it. Well, it just so happens that I become passionate about anything that piques my interest at any given point in time. My husband once told me my hobby is finding new hobbies.....I can't deny it!! However, I will say that my kids--currently ages 11, 8, 6, and 4--will always be a major topic you can expect to read about. Beyond the kids, my current secondary interests include running and biking....gardening will most likely be the next topic to grab my attention. But, the one thing you can count on is that I will undoubtedly ramble on about whatever I find interesting.

Babysitting

We had the great pleasure of babysitting Jessica's youngest baby today. I'm so glad that I was able to do this for her because it allowed Jessica the opportunity to spend most of the day being with her dad and taking care of him at the hospital. Jessica's mom is still in the other hospital, but they think she'll be able to come home tomorrow. Jessica did get to spend the morning with her mom before bringing Daniel over here in the afternoon.

Jessica's husband, Garr, brought the baby over around 1:00. My two boys were sleeping and the girls were next door. So, Daniel and I had a good little bit of time to get used to one another without any other kids vying for my, or his, attention. He was such a wonderful little guest and we very much enjoyed every minute of it. AJ and Ryan were just in awe over him. I was very surprised about how nurturing both of the boys were toward Daniel.

Here are Ryan and AJ just staring at him. They did this alot....just watched him play. Daniel has 3 sisters so I'm sure having kids right in his face is nothing new to him. It definitely seems to be taking in stride.

AJ is giving Daniel a hug

And in this picture, AJ is patting him on the head. I was just amazed by how sweet AJ was being the whole time.

I love this picture of Ryan just admiring Daniel

And here is the happy boy enjoying the Jumperoo without kids right in his face for a moment.
