First Day 'On The granny Job'

My 'shift' began at noon yesterday and I walked into a smiling happy baby. In a few hours time I managed to have a very unhappy crying baby! Oh the Grandma touch huh?! Julia does not like a wet or dirty diaper, gas, the hick ups or to be hungry....none of which seemed to be the trouble yesterday so she cried...and I mean CRIED for about an hour. It makes a person (especially a grandma) feel so helpless. It is one thing if she would have been just crabby but no this was the wail of 'something is not right in my world. She finally settled down and a few hours later I cleaned a very messy diaper. So I say that was the problem...not that she wanted mommy or daddy and not gramma...I refuse to believe that. However it could be true.

So this morning my shift began at 8am and this is the baby I have so far-
And a frosty sunrise over looking the field behind Len and Kel's house.

It has been a lot of years since I have woken up in the morning in this house.
