Well it has been several days since my last post. I have been in San Diego since Sunday with my friends Mark and Mary Sue and their son and daughter, Isaac and Hannah. I absolutely love these kids. They are 6 weeks old. And they need a lot of attention. I came to help out as Mark started back to work yesterday. So I've been doing late night feedings, changing diapers, and holding crying babies. The free time I do have is usually used for sleeping. I have a much better idea about parenting than I did before (already) and I had a pretty good idea before. I'm not sure I'm cut out for it. I'll say a little bit about that but first a couple of observations.
(1) There really is an episode of Law and Order at all hours of the day. Even 3 o'clock in the morning.
(2) When babies are this young they do something that is very similar to what my brother did at the end of his life. They'll have their eyelids open or partially closed and roll their eyes around sometimes up in their heads.
I'll write again soon--crying baby.
