Playing Mom

For three weeks this summer I got to play mom to my friends' one year old daughter, Briella, and occasionally her four year old daughter, Bekah, while she and her older kids attended a theater camp. It gave me quite a good taste of what being a mom will be like and I had a lot of fun. Briella had fun too, although now every time she sees me she freaks out because she thinks it means her mom is leaving. For the most part Bekah went to theater camp, but there were a couple days that she hung out with Briella and me. One of those days we took a trip to the Baltimore zoo to see the new baby elephant. My parents and brother came too and even though I tried to be really prepared, it was so nice to have my mom there to help out!
