One last post for the day…..I think so any way.  On Saturday we went to go visit the newest addition to the Watson clan, our new niece Danielle.  She is cute as a button……and I spent a few hours holding her while she lounged in my arms.  She seems to be a good baby (is there really any other), and only fusses when she’s super hungry.  It’s funny to see other people go through the things you went through what seems like only a short while ago (well, 5 years ago…..holy smacks where did that time fly to?).  Clare enjoyed terrorizing their cats while we visited with Dan & Karyn.  Brad didn’t see any reason to hold her…..he’s not one for babies ( I say rolling my eyes).  I love my darling hubby…..but one thing he doesn’t share in common with me is the love for babies, and the feeling you get when they fall asleep in your arms making the cute faces they make (not the stinky in the pants faces……I don’t like those), and just listening to their quiet breaths.  It’s something I’ve always loved, even as a young teenager babysitting my cousins.  Now, don’t get any ideas about me wanting more kids; because that’s not what’s going on……I have my hands full with the Clarester, and I’m finally regaining some sense of me when school starts tomorrow.  I just enjoy taking care of other peoples kids!  Anyway, to end the day…..here’s a pic of Clare holding her new cousins (Olivia - top, Danielle - bottom).  I hope they become good friends….Clare is dieing to have them grow up so she can have a play mate at family functions.  The first thing she asked my mom after Olivia was born was, “When will Olivia be 4 so she can play with me?”   After Saturday, she was confused when Uncle Dan said he had a kid…..to her a kid is someone that can play with her, not a baby that only eats, sleeps & poo’s.
