Our Weekend with Nathan Bitman October 20, 2009
When Deborah got in a bind and needed someone to watch Nathan for the weekend of her brother’s wedding, I volunteered. It was a no brainer to me – a friend needed me so I volunteered. But as the days drew nearer to our weekend with Nate, Bobby and Deborah’s anxiety continued to build. Somehow, I just figured we’d get through, but my worry-warts were all geared up!
Nate came over first thing Friday morning, and he stayed with us through Monday evening. I have to admit, it was a long 4 days. I just don’t know how people do it when they have 2 kids so close together! (Kendal and Nate are 9 months a part.) It was exhausting, and we quickly discovered that Nate did not like me as a substitute mom. Luckily, he liked Bobby, so whenever possible I left him with Bobby! LOL
It seemed to be a long weekend for everyone, except maybe Kendal. Kendal was her normal happy self. Although she does not like anyone else touching her toys, other than that she didn’t mind having another baby in the house.
