babysitting Gracie

I probably shouldn't jinx it, but babysitting Gracie is the easiest babysitting job ever.

Her mom left, and I said, "Gracie, is it ok if I make coffee while you play with your cow rattle?" I took Gracie's gurgling for assent, and went to put the kettle on and grind the coffee. When I came back, she was fast asleep, her arms spread out above her head, her cheek cushioned on plastic keys.
