So excited

My cousin's little daughter is two and a half, a fantastic little girl, and today for the first time since she was born we're babysitting her overnight at our house.
Everyone is tremendously excited, especially our daughters, who are six and eight, and who think their little second-great-cousin once removed (or whatever she is officially) is the Best Thing Ever. Which she pretty much is.
So I expect we might not sleep very well tonight, and will wake up early tomorrow for playtime, and I'll be changing diapers again for the first time in five years. It'll be great.
