The things we learn.....

We have been blessed with the opportunity to take care of our 5 1/2 month old nephew for nine days!! Jeff's sister, Carrie, took her two older kids to Disneyland and she left her baby with us. This is a little crazy for me. Our second child, Avery, has been a little different than our first, Alexa. We love them the same. But, Avery knows how to push mom's buttons. So, I had decided that a third little bundle of joy was out of the question for the Horsley's. I didn't think that I could handle it. But, much to my surprise it has been a dream at our house for the last 4 days. My nephew is a really amazing little guy. He is so pleasant to have in our home. Avery loves her little cousin and she loves to help me feed him. She also loves to read books to him. Alexa loves to be the first one by the crib when he wakes up. She loves to hold him and is always finding some new music for him to listen to. I am so grateful for my little girls!! They are such good helpers and good examples. So, what have I learned from this? Alexa is going to be a great mom some day!! I could probably learn a lot from her. Avery is very aware of other people's needs and wants to help out when she can or when she can't. And, hey maybe three kids isn't so bad after all.
