So I’ve babysat before naturally. And I’ve often spent the day with my nephew when he was three up until the present (and he’s 6) But today (in the midst of attempting to study for finals) I decided to watch my 14 month old nephew so my sister could go to work. And I don’t know HOW you mother’s DO IT!!! Only by the grace of God I’m sure. Besides being feverish & coughing all over me (so that now I feel ill) he needs to be entertained every moment that he’s awake. Except, I’m not an entertainer! I’m a law student. I’m trying to research here and he’s trying to WALK over my keyboard. Five o’clock is nearly here and I’m so thankful for it. Spending eleven hours with a young child really either encourages you to have kids…or not. Maybe once I become a lil less self-involved (and when I find a husband.)

I tip my hat to you and all the mothers out there, whether they stay at home with the kids, work from home, or go out into the work force. Raising kids is TOUGH.

I sure he stops crying soon. He canNOT play with my laptop! I already gave him the blackberry!
