Mommy in training

One day prior to Eden's arrival our good friend Rebecca emailed Ashley and asked if she could come over one day per week and watch Eden while Ashley and I got out of the house. Wow! We jumped at the offer. Rebecca's reasoning? She is pregnant with Noah ... their first. She needed some QT with a newborn to get used to it. We're always glad to rent Eden out for a few hours.

She started this on Wednesday, April 2 at 5 p.m. Ashley and I went to Best Buy to look at laptops. Welcome to the highlight of our week! It was fun and odd at the same time ... the first time we had left Eden at home alone with someone other than immediate family. We must really trust this Rebecca person, huh?

Rebecca was in the same position when we came back home that she was when we left ... in the recliner, holding Eden, and smiling. We don't think she moved.

Rebecca ... you'll be a great mom, indeed!

Aww! You all are very sweet. Eden and I have fun hanging out, but I still haven't left the chair with her! Newborns are big responsibilities - why move if we can just rock and relax, right? Spending time with Eden is a highlight of my week and Noah thinks it's cool when I read and sing to them!
