Tuesdays with Buzzy
When my son and daughter-in-law announced they were pregnant the subject of me watching the baby lingered in the air. Prior to their pregnancy, I stood pretty firm on not wanting to have the babysitter role, rather I wanted to save it for being the grand parent.
Shortly before the baby was born, Andrew asked if I would be willing to watch the baby one to two times a week. Although my head was telling me no, my heart was telling me yes. I didn’t have much help when my children were babies and I remembered how that made me feel: alone, overwhelmed, and heavy-hearted.
I decided to take the plunge and said yes to the babysitting gig. They also determined they would only need me on Tuesdays. It was the easiest day for me, and I could arrange my schedule to make it work. Originally, they were going to bring my grand daughter to me, but in the end it was easier for me to go to their home. They had all the baby gear ready to go, besides I didn’t like the idea of having bulky baby items in my living space 24/7. Or have to move them in and out of the space every week. It was a win-win for all.
Although, I’ve had her many other times on the weekends or special occasions Tuesdays are the day I am blessed to spend with Emery. My heart melts when I come in the door and she has big smiles when we lock eyes. I know she’s happy to see me and I her. Our days are filled with togetherness and love. One thing I know to be true, she’s got me wrapped around her little finger and heart.
When she was born, my son and daughter-in-law wanted to know what Emery should call me. Even though I thought about it for a hot minute, there was only one answer, Buzzy of course. It had and still is my family nickname since I was a small child, and nothing else seemed to fit. They both agreed, it had to be Buzzy.
You may ask what does Tuesdays with Buzzy mean to me. It means I’m blessed to be with this precious grand daughter of mine every week. I’m building a special relationship that will last a lifetime to me, and one day her. Right now I’m enjoying every second, although I’m not gonna lie, I’m tired at the end of the day. She’ll be crawling soon which will add another set of circumstances … Haha. Buzzy better buckle-up! For now, Tuesdays with Buzzy bring me buckets of joy.
