Our first taste of life with kids

For the last couple of days Madri and myself have had the great opportunity of experiencing some of what life might be like once we have kids of our own. My brother (and his wife) have gone to a 5 day conference in England and have asked us to look after their kids for the five days. They are truly lovely kids and we're having a great time about it, but it is rather taxing to keep a constant eye on a little being who's greatest goal is to do something wrong or hurtful to himself or others. But i guess that's why God intended 2 adults to work together at the children thing. It really just makes sense. I certainly couldn't do this alone. I feel really sorry for any woman who has to do this task alone.
