Upon returning from a day at work for me and a day at the sitter's for Genevieve, we gratefully savored (moreover devoured) a dinner our sitters blessed us with.  It being a day Mike would be working later, Genevieve and I were able to dive right in, needing not to practice any patients.  Thank you, Steffensmeiers!

Once the table was cleared, she and I found ourselves parked on the floor, playing baby dolls.  Her newly named doll, Jet, began by "nursing" and was soon stripped down for a "bath".  Genevieve initially wanted Jet to take a shower, but she learned this evening that babies don't shower.  I had a strong suspicion that she'd want to actually shower the doll in the tub.

Before too long, Genevieve wanted to see our baby (aka baby belly on me).  At home, that usually means snuggling up to my bare belly.  Genevieve began singing, "I will sing of mercies of Lord forever. I will sing. I will sing.  I will sing of mercies of Lord forever.  I will sing. I will sing."  This just melts my heart. Of all the songs of God's goodness, this is one I haven't taught her.  It seems Ms. 'Suzie' (our sitter's mother, whose name is really Karen) sings this beautiful love song to her.  Thank you, God. A wonderful evening together...
