We have recently started babysitting for little Laila on Monday afternoons. Isn't she the cutest thing you have ever seen? Her Mom used to work with Daryl and they live just a couple of streets over from our house. They needed someone to watch Laila on Mondays between the time her Dad leaves to go to work and her Mom comes home from work. Laila has Pierre-Robin Sequence so we work with her at drinking from a special bottle and then the rest goes in her ng tube. She's on an apnea monitor because her breathing is very positional due to her small jaw and larger tongue. My kids absolutely adore her! It's been fun to see them with a little baby. Hope, especially, is very intrigued with her ng tube because we often talk about how she had a tube when she was a baby because she didn't want to eat. After Laila leaves on Monday evening one of the first questions is always, "When is Laila coming back?" Samuel recently told my Mom that he thinks maybe we should go to Florida every Monday. ;) But then he quickly followed it up with, "Oh, never mind. That won't work out because Laila comes to our house on Mondays." I'm hoping the novelty of having a baby in the house won't wear off before May!! :)
