I've always liked playing with babies. Until recently, of course, that meant someone else's baby. Babies were all well and good when they were happy, but when they got unhappy, I was all too ready to give them back to Mom or Dad. I always felt guilty about that, because it seemed like we had their babies when they were happy, so they only had their babies for the unhappy times. Now, though, I realize it's not like that at all. I like it when she's happy around other people because then they can share the joy. It's also nice to have someone else be in charge, if only for a little while. When she's distressed, though, I can't stand just leaving her with someone else (besides Jessica, of course). I can't let her be unhappy when I know there's something I can do about it. It's not just that people want to give her back, it's that I must take her back, because I know that they don't know how to soothe her or calm her the way that we do.
