My Day with Violet

Melissa went to a seminar today and Jamie is out of town so I volunteered to babysit Violet. Now I remember why I went back to work and hired someone to watch my kids when they were young. Babysitting has to be the hardest job ever. After only 5 hours of watching her, I am totally exhausted.

As you can see from the picture, Violet is sound asleep. I sat with her like that for about an hour and a half. I was afraid if I moved her I would disturb her nap. She's very focused now - staring at the ceiling fan and watching TV. She's also beginning to laugh. I kept her occupied when she was awake and she only cried once while I was heating up her bottle - she's a bit impatient.
