Kitty Seat?

When I am at my desk, Gray Kitty likes to jump up, walk all over my key board, or stares at my screen with his tail in my face and then sometimes lays down on my keyboard. Today he found his Kitty Seat.

Babysittting LillaMai

Treating my assistant, Murphy.

Cold artichokes...

The photographer - amateur

Expressions...

Trying to suck in those chunky cheeks

Changing the diaper...

Gave up on keeping the hat straight.

Sleeping

Nap time

Little siesta

Resting the eyes.

Today was grandma Jeanne's first day on the job; babysitting LillaMai. Murphy stayed close by to make sure I did everything right and was treated for his efforts. He also made sure he barked at "every" truck he heard.

There were bottle feedings, rewarming my lunch, funny faces that made me laugh out loud, the diaper duty with those wiggly legs. Biggest challenge was trying to keep the pooh hat straight - I gave up.

We had sleep, naps, seistas...it was a good day!

Aunt Lise

When I was pregnant with your mother, my mother (your great grandma Moon) changed. She
blossomed into this amazing woman full of more love, compassion, unselfishness, I could ever imagine. She was this way with all her grandchildren. I was very fortunate to live close to my parents when I had your mother. I never had to worry about a last minute sitter or someone to ask advise. Someone I knew loved your mother as much as I did.

My father (your great grandpa Moon) was awesome too. He never questioned my mother's behavior when it came to the grandchildren. He was a team player and appreciated his grandchildren just as much.

When I compare myself to my mother I feel I fall short in so many ways. I wish I could respond to all the times your mother needed someone to take care of you. I wish I could attend every school program you are in, or be able to pick you up from school. I wish I lived down the road from you and I could wander over (everyday).

Aunt Lise who will have a baby in February, wishes as I do you lived closer. For now we can hardly wait for you to visit your new cousin when he arrives.
