Today was my first full day here at GLA and it went surprisingly well. By lunchtime it felt like i was in a routine that was totally normal and that it felt like I had been here for longer than just a few hours.
We woke up and got ready and had breakfast this morning. Then we went down to the Main House where our kids are. Once there we checked on the babies and all of mine were still asleep or still being fed by the nannies. So, I went back upstairs to clean some before my kids were ready.
The volunteers and I each have our own set of kids and we hangout together on the porch. The porch is full of toys and games, kiddie pools, jolly jumpers, rocking chairs, strollers, pretty much anything you can think of for babies. We spend all of our time with the babies up on this porch. It is a long time in the same place but it is a beautiful view and the perfect amount of sun and shade!

I got to spend time today with each of my babies. Each child I got for about an hour and 15 minutes or so and they were all really easy babies. I have three boys and three girls. I will do a write up of each of them in the next couple days to give you an idea of who my kids are.
We went to lunch around noon and got an hour and a half break. We eat lunch and thats how long it takes to feed all of the babies too so it was a nice break in the day. Then after lunch it was back to more babies and more drool, spit up, diaper changes, jolly jumpers, tummy time and cuddle time! Cuddle time is my favorite! :)
We finished with dinner at the house and then came back to our place. I am sitting on the porch watching the older kids play outside on their toys. Tonight I plan on showering and reading and then going to bed. Days here are long but they are rewarding. It is nice to be able to have evenings sorta off...gives us more time to refuel for the next day.
Yay! Thank you for the updates! Love it! :)
