Today was my forth morning to volunteer at MAD2 (Music, Art, Drama and Dance) Camp at First Pres, and this was definitely my most enjoyable day. My job each day has been to sit in the theater while the various drama groups prepare for tomorrow evening's program for the families, and make sure they had lights, sound, and whatever they needed for their rehearsals. Today the leader of the drama coaches needed to bring her baby along because of a sitter problem. Since my youngest grandchild recently turned 19, it has been a while since I have had a chance to hold a baby, so naturally I volunteered to help with the baby. As it worked out, I held the little one for over an hour. He was a cheerful child and we enjoyed each others company. We walked, we talked, we rocked, we played games with toys and he really enjoyed admiring a blue chair. What he did not do, although his mom had assured me he would, was fall asleep. That was ok because he wasn't fussy at all. What he was though, was a six month old chubby chunk who weighed 25 pounds. While my spirit was willing, my back let me know later today that there is a reason young people have children. Still it was a good fun day.
