2 hours in the life...

I spent two hours helping a woman from church today.




She has one little three week old baby girl, a one year old girl, a three year old girl and a four year old boy!

Plusses

1. Rocking a baby to sleep for the first time ever! Beautiful experience.

2. Talking with with her four year old, who's a very sensitive, considerate little man.

3. Tickling said four year old, he loved it, and his skin is soooo soft.

4. Making playdoh scultptures with the three and four year olds.

5. Playing outside in icy puddles and showing them how to smash the ice on the ground like glass

Minuses

1. Feeling kinda helpless when I couldn't really discipline the kids for her.

2. One year old girl face planting in an icy puddle ( she didn't even cry, she's tough as nails)

3. Finding out that you don't start games/jokes, unless you mind repeating them twenty times. (I.e 'Look I have a playdoh tear on my cheek, boo hoo!' Expect big blob of cold playdoh in your eye!)

4. Leaving

Cluck in a Bucket

The plan for the day was that my cluckiness would be shocked into submission by exhaustion of helping young mum with four kids!

Foiled!
