Babysitting

This afternoon, I got my first taste of what it is like to take care of a little baby all by myself.  To be honest, it was a little nerve-wracking because I wasn't sure if I would know what to do. On the other hand, I was happy that I was trusted to watch him on my own.  He was fine in the beginning, but then he started SCREAMING!  Usually when he starts crying, someone would take him and walk around with him because that is what he likes to do. Today, I was unable to walk around with him, so I tried to distract him with toys that I played with when I was a baby.  That method worked for about 5 minutes.  The whole experience made me start thinking about how I would be as a mother with a disability.  I don't know why I am thinking about this now, but I am sure that I will be ready when the time comes.
