Mom for an hour
What better way to celebrate Mother's Day then by being a mother for an hour? That's what Deidra got to do today in church. A couple that I had asked to speak in church today has a 9-month-old baby girl (Abigail) that they asked Deidra to watch while they spoke. It was fun to watch Deidra trying to find ways to entertain her for an hour during sacrament meeting. At times, Abigail would be laughing, then crying the next minute, and there was a point where she almost fell off the bench. But all-in-all, Deidra did a great job and will definitely make a great mother herself one day. Though this one-hour stint of trying to entertain someone else's child may have dissuaded her from becoming a mom anytime soon. :-)

Yeah, that was really bad when she almost fell off the bench. Good thing I caught her with my leg (and her mom didn't see her!!) Next time I'm going to be Mom for an hour I won't wear a wrap dress. She had me so immodest for most of the meeting!
Well, the good news is that at nine months, her mom is probably used to her bumping her head and falling. The other good (no... awesome!) news is that your own baby is going to be a million times easier to care for because no one can read them better than you! Plus, they act like you, copying your behavior, so I'm sure your babies will be perfect angels for you guys. :)
