My daughter has a three month old. Her husband was recently deployed to Germany for a month long exercise. So we have been going over to help with her real baby. It comes back like riding a bike.
And it reminds me why we did not have a thirdwe would have been outnumbered.
And it is amazing how quickly one recognizes the different cries. My daughter was amazed at how I just picked up the little girl and got her to go to sleep on my chest.
I dont know how kids do it without any help.
A comedian once said something like your parenting is really tested when you have to go from man-to-man to zone coverage.
