Three days last week and two days this week, Arle and I kept our friends’ 3-month-old little girl, Kate. I think I had forgotten how easy itty bitty babies are. Kate is such a peaceful and content little thing and Arle absolutely adored her.
Going into it, I was actually a bit worried how Arle would handle sharing her mommy with someone else. She never seemed to mind much and actually wanted to help me out more than anything. She was the official “Paci-monitor” and would cry out, “Oh no, paci! Oh no, paci!” anytime Kate’s paci would fall out of her mouth.
Arle also loved to help burp Kate. As I would sit on the couch and pat Kate’s back, Arle would stand on the floor and pat Kate’s bum. When Kate would finally let out a belch, Arle would say, “Scuse me!” or “Bless you!”
She’s going to be a fantastic big sister someday!

SO CUTE!! We could never say thank you enough for taking such good care of Kate on such short notice! I think she already misses her friend Arle – I’m too boring :).
