Baby Speed


Today moved at Little Baby Speed. You probably know that tempo--it's the way time moves along when you're caring for very small children. We had a friend's five-month old daughter all day and my, she was very sweet. Never fussed a single peep. 

Lots of talking in the rocker by the fire, walking around and looking out windows, shooing the cat away from her bottle, and plenty of lying on a folded blanket in the sewing room playing with Daisy.

oh yes! I've been babysitting a 2-month-old for a friend. It's nice to remember and nice to hand him back and speed up again :)

That sounds like a fun day!

Ahh yes! My youngest grandson is 5 mo. I keep him 4 days a week. It is an awkward age as they really need their perspective changed often! So glad Daisy was there to entertain him on the quilt!!!!!

Sounds so cute.

Oh yes, baby speed! We have graduated from baby speed and now live at Toddler Speed. Which is faster but more destructive, I think. Still, I get a lot less done than I would at Normal Speed.

Keeping a baby for a day is a treat!

I love how time just slows down, becomes completely unhurried and becomes all about the people most precious in our lives and homes. Things speed up when kids are older so a day here and there with a teeny little one are something quite precious.
