The Baby Pros

Today one of Mommy's favorite families, the Barnards, stopped in to meet Emma.  Mommy had Margaret as a student her first year of teaching fourth grade at Willow, almost ten years ago (Wow, time flies...).  Mommy was so excited to have Margaret hold the baby.  Emma spent most of the time sleeping, but Alli had a heyday.

When Carol and Margaret first arrived, Alli ran out of the house over into the neighbors lawn.  Mommy was so embarrassed.  Margaret had to go chase Alli back to the house.  Then she kept bringing her disgusting, slobbery toys around in hopes of getting a bit of attention.  Thank goodness Margaret and her mom like dogs.

Besides liking dogs, Margaret and her mom are baby pros.  Mommy hopes that at some point in the near future, Margaret can watch Emma for a few hours.  And of course, from a little kid's perspective nothing is "cooler" than getting to hang out with a high schooler.  Little does Margaret know that Mommy still has the tie blanket she gave her years ago.  Emma is fascinated by all the bright colors and stares at it nonstop when she is being rocked.
