Duty

I was on duty today. I was called upon after the boyyo forgot that night time is sleep time.

Bringing up a wee baba is tough. Of that, there is no doubt. But when his daddy works off shore, it can make the days and nights seem very long.

I walked him along the prom. The sun was shining, and the temperature was just above freezing. We were both wrapped up.

I've discovered the Imogen Heaps song, Happy, which was written with research from universities on how best to soothe and calm your baby. My phone was in the buggy for a while. It worked, and he slept.

I left them both feeling much better. This Great Aunt lark us all the fun and none of the grief.
