New Beginnings - Louis and Me (Part 4)

48 special hours have just flown past! Where is the time going these days? Yesterday I began my new part time 'job', looking after Louis. I really liked the way this new venture got off to a great start with a New Moon (in Libra) yesterday. A New Moon is considered to be an auspicious time for new beginnings -----and the sign of Libra is all to do with communication in relationship, so what a wonderful time to be starting to spend two precious days a week with my beautiful 5 month old grandson. Yesterday I managed the breakfast, bottles, lunch, nappies, songs and stories fairly smoothly. Louis is really patient and forgiving, especially at meal times, if I miss his mouth with his new solid foods. We also had a walk out, late morning to watch the autumn leaves fall. The only thing was, he went off to sleep in his puschair after passing under the first tree, a huge horse chestnut dropping its finger-like green and yellow leaves. Louis is so observant. We counted the fallen conkers together, as I picked them up and he giggled from his puschair. Today, it was time for his second round of vaccinations. Not an easy time for a baby. He really let out a scream when the nurses gave him the jabs, but he soon recovered, full of smiles and chuckles as we left the surgery in the October sunlight. It was such a mild day today. He always seems to love feeling the breeze on his face.
