Last Saturday was a very unusual day for me. I decided to take a break from my daily routine (taking care of my dogs, working online, managing my online business, etc). I was a babysitter just for a day. It’s been a very long time since I experienced being a mother to a baby. But with Micah, I was able to feel being a mom again. I took care of her for the whole day.


I started the day by giving Micah a quick bath. After her bath, I was able to put her to sleep. We slept together for almost two hours. As she woke up, I played with her for a little while. It felt so good when I saw her smile. She wanted to talk to me but all she can say was “ouhh”. Then I put her again to sleep. While she was sleeping, I tried to work for a little while but after an hour, she woke up again. For me to be able to work again, I put her in a cradle. I positioned the cradle in front of our tv so that she can watch Playhouse Disney. I know she can’t understand it yet but I was hoping that she’ll get attracted to the different colors flashing in front of her. Actually, it’s very tiring to play with a baby. It’s hard to baby talk — argh!!! But everytime I saw her smile, it made me smile too…


Here are the pictures of my sweet little niece, Micah:
