When Baby Comes to Play

We had an opportunity to babysit my new neice for 7 days this past January to help out my brother and sister-in-law with an unexpected week of work (albeit temporary). My niece wasn't quite 3 months old yet and it's been almost 6 years since we've had a little one that size in our home for an extended period of time! So each day we got a little better at taking care of her. School still was happening, but it just happened in more creative ways! I had always heard the phrase, "The lesson is the baby!", said in response to how you homeschool with a newborn. This phrase couldn't have been truer for us that week! The kids hadn't had that much exposure to an infant now that they are all older. It was a wonderful time of learning all about feeding, burping, rocking, being quiet at naptime and even changing diapers! They all had a wonderful time learning and helping out. What a blessing this week was for us!
