Shhh! Don't wake the baby!

            I’m not sure if I’m more taken by the things I remember – silly rhymes, games, and songs, how to hold a baby, feed a baby, clothe a baby, bathe a baby) – or by the things I’ve forgotten – the back work, the constant attention demand, the scramble-brain, the triumph of lulling a baby to sleep and the ferocious defense of naptime.
            We’ve had a great day, but…whew!                      
            I’m thinking of a postcard I could write to my husband: “Having a wonderful time. Wish you were here.” That just about sums it up.
