Yesterday was an eye opener. I dont know if i mentioned this before, but i decided to give home daycare a shot (being the daycare, not sending Ben to daycare). Dhs young cousin (18) needed a "day mother" for her 6 week old boy, as she needs to go to school 2 days a week. So I quickly offered to look after him. After this i felt really guilty for Ben, as i knew he wouldnt get my full attention when the baby is here.

Yesterday she brought him (the baby) around for a little stay, 3 hours, he slept the whole time... But it brought back LOTS of memories of when Ben was that young. Bryan (the baby), has no routine yet, so she couldnt tell me when he would need a bottle, or if he would sleep. And to top it off, she didnt bring over anything at all, apart from a bottle. No nappies, no change of clothes... I only noticed after she left (in a hurry mind you). Luckily Bryan slept the whole way through after i wrapped him and set up Bens basinette for him, but im now wondering if i really should have offered to look after him.

Oh i dont know, im sure i will be ok. Ben is really easy to look after, and he easily plays alone and doesnt need much attention, so it shouldnt be a probem, I HOPE!
