My time is not my own now. We have a 3 year in our house (our great grand niece) part time. Her mom is not in a position to care for her right now. She runs the house when she's here. Case in point......she wanted me to give her her bath yesterday with 1:52 seconds left in the game. I told her she would have to wait a couple of minutes. She could not understand why.

Short of a house fire or an earthquake, I WAS NOT going to leave the game before it was over.
There are 3 adults in the house. We take turns playing with her, bathing her, feeding her and keeping her entertained. That means taking her outside (you can't keep a kid cooped up in the house all day, especially when it's nice out. It also means getting on the floor and playing with her toys and dolls which can be a challenge when you're our age.

Sometimes when I'm watching TV, and she'll get up in my chair and tell me she wants to watch Mickey Mouse or some other cartoon, totally oblivious that I might be enjoying what I'm watching, and might want to continue watching it. Guess what.....suddenly we're now watching Mickey Mouse. Get the picture?
We love having her here, understanding that she's here for a reason. The Father put her here on purpose. She's a blessing to all of us. We've had her since she was 6 weeks old. I miss her when she's at her grandmother's house. She lives between the two households. She is miss personality. So, I live and work around her needs and wants when she's here. I'm the only man in her life, so I can't/don't tell her no when she needs or want's my attention. In the next couple of years, she'll need less and less of my time as she matures a little and begins preschool/kindergarten and TV programs are able to hold her attention longer.
As she grows older that will change. My two grown granddaughters don't need me anymore like they did when they were her age.

So in the mean time........she runs through the house spending time with each of us on a rotating basis. I love it.

Here she comes now.
