Being a Parent
Today started off pretty good, the girls slept in a little and so did I. They were both up off and on last night for some reason, so we started on another day a little late. I hoped that they would play hard and not want to take a nap, so they would go to bed early and get up early. It makes life much easier if you are able to get the kids into a routine.
The weather was nice outside and the girls were playing and I received a call from my second son, he wanted to know if I could watch his kids. I have never refused to keep any of my grandchildren, so I said yes. He brought them over not long after the call as they live less than 3 miles away. I did not know that my son and his wife were in the middle of one of their frequent disagreements. I have no clue as to what their problem was this time. I am not a meddling parent and stay out of their business until they involve me. I am sad because they are so young and parents of two beautiful babies. I can only support them and watch over the children until they can resolve their issue this time.
The kids don’t seem to mind they have been having a good time playing together and two days in a row has been rare. The baby is almost 5 months old and she loves watching the kids play and squeals when she gets excited. They went to bed much better tonight and I even was able to put the baby down early. All I can do now is cross my fingers that they remain asleep until 7 am. and we can start over again.
