Julia with Grandpa Brauer
Today we started taking care of our granddaughter, Julia, during the day while John and Nancy are working. She is a sweet, easy-to-care-for child, but I had forgotten how taking care of a baby (4 months old) divides your life into small segments of time: feed (1/2 hour), play (1.5 hour), nap (1 hour) walk (1/2 hour) and then repeat. It sure makes the day go by quickly! Julia makes us smile and laugh all the time. She loves her grandpa -- she smiles when she sees him. The Paulus Hook neighborhood of Jersey City (where John and Nancy live) should be called Baby City. When we go out for our daily walks, there are strollers everywhere. We see lots of other grandparents taking care of young children. Lots of Au Pairs, too. We call ourselves the Grand Pair au Pairs.
