Birthday Present

Happy birthday to me! I'm 48 now.

My present will be getting to babysit my almost-3-month-old granddaughter, Ana, tonight for the first time while her parents go out to celebrate their one-year wedding anniversary. I get to snuggle a wiggly bundle of giggly softness and smell her baby freshness until she gets cranky because she's tired, and then she'll go home and I won't have to deal with that part.

How perfect is that?

    Happy birthday (belated!) to you! For the next 18 days we're the same age...then I'm older than you again. :)

    Thanks, LLL. Ana fell asleep in my arms in our rocking chair. I kissed her soft little face and legs to my heart's content.

    Thanks, Imperatrix.

    I wish Ana's visit had been longer. My daughter and son-in-law must've wolfed down their dinner, because they spent only an hour at the restaurant, which is just a few minutes away from my house. Despite their denials, they were anxious being away from their little one for fun.
