M – Sadly, our 10 day babysitting adventure with Lady Baba’s 9-month old granddaughter Kyra comes to a close tonight. Mom and dad will claim their toddler as they move from Chicago to New Hampshire after 4 years in the Windy City. We’ve had her at our house since the 12th. It has been a delightful experience for me to travel back 30 years to when my daughter Liz was her age. I’m convinced more than ever that parenting isn’t brain surgery. Love them, be with them and let them find their voice. Do not take babies for granted. They need your attention. You’ll never regret the investment you make in your child. I may be sad she’s leaving but I have a sneaking suspicion there will be many more grand babies in our future. We will not be throwing out our new Fisher Price toys any time soon!
