Making the Rounds

In my family, we usually keep our babies in for a few weeks after they're born, but Steve works out of town two days a week and on those days, The Bairn and I stay with merciful angel friends who coo over him and send me off for naps. Last week we stayed with these friends. The little girl, Macy, is 2 and she wanted to poke the baby in the eye a lot and love him down but her mother wouldn't let her. When I came downstairs from taking a nap, The Bairn was lying in a Moses basket and Macy was standing nearby. When I paused to look at the baby, Macy shook her finger at me and warned, "Don't touch!"



It was a good practice day for The Bairn, who is meeting the marmots in a few short weeks.

I'm so glad you have lovey helpers. The marmots are going to be in heaven.

We shall erect a cairn to guide the Bairn to Marmotville.
