Jiggling and Juggling
Serena has a vibrating bouncy chair that keeps her pretty happy. At least long enough for dad to fold a load of laundry or for mom to cut up some veggies for dinner.
Tonight it kept her pretty happy during her first premarital counseling session. Scheduling sometimes means our little one ends up in weird places for a baby. She behaved wonderfully though. And the counseling session followed an hour of band practice. Not to mention that Serena and I are still here at the church - until Dad gets done reffing soccer and comes to pick us up.
I'm sure the day will come when she'll no longer tolerate these extended sessions at the church. That day will probably come for me too. For now they're just part of the new juggling act of mom and minister that I'm learning. And tomorrow morning when I wake up and before I come into work a little late, I'll just have the one ball to catch for a little while - and she'll give me the hugest, happiest smile when I change her super-wet nighttime diaper. And it'll be worth it all.
