Grammie takes care of granddaughter

My daughter returned to work after her maternity leave and I cared for my granddaughter. I have a riding lesson on Tuesday morning, so my son watched the baby. My instructor commented that is alright to do the grandma thing, but not at the expense of all my interests. Her insight reaffirmed my decision to continue with my lessons. And when I came home, my son had fed the baby and was rocking her as she slept. He had a good time bonding with her and is excited about watching her in a week or so. No lesson next week as the horses will be at the 4H fair. My husband anchored the car seat in the back of the car. May still have to adjust the straps and the infant seat position, once the baby is in the seat. My son in law was picking her up from care yesterday and I asked my daughter if he had a reminder to take the baby out of the truck after they arrived home. So easy to become preoccupied and forget that a sleepy baby is in the carseat in the back. Because my friend is either brain-injured or heavily medicated and not in touch with reality, I am more at ease about the infrequency of my visits. She has such a long road to recovery--both thigh bones broken, learning to feed herself, getting off a liquid diet, weaning off painkillers. I miss her so much, my little sister. Glad to have the company of my little granddaughter. My youngest daughter needs to move out of her house. Trying to figure how to get the heavy furniture home. Probably need a truck or trailer and lots of help.
