Babysitting

So, the youngest grandchild (so far....another one is on the way...) turned one year old April 29th.  We had to babysit him yesterday because he had a 103 degree temperature.

It's hard to watch a one year old screaming because he is sick.  I gave him his meds for his fever, then put him down for a short nap.  Actually, he fell asleep for 15 minutes on top of me, on my chest, then took another nap.  Then we went outside.  He actually perked up!  He played with his sister's toys (she was at daycare), played with the rocks, and played with anything he could find outside.  He LOVES the outdoors!  This may the the one grandchild I REALLY get to cultivate to love the outdoors!  He looks so much like my maternal grandfather and has his blue eyes, too!  And, my blond hair!

Anyway, he screamed for his lunch, so I fed him, kept him up until 2 p.m. and then he took a nice, long afternoon nap!  SO DID GRANDMA!!!!

By 4:00, he was screaming for his afternoon bottle, so he got that and then mommie came home.  He ran to the side door with his arms in the air!  He is so dang cute!

This morning he is fine.  NO FEVER!  I guess grandma did a good job yesterday!!!!!  Here's "Little Man" yesterday...playing with his big sister's toys!
