Ep 13. Baby Daze

Whit, Connie, and Tom are running Whit's End while Rodney and his wife are away on a trip. They receive a call from Mrs. Kramer, a mother of four who needs someone to watch her baby for the day. Connie and Tom are eager to take on the job, but Whit is hesitant, as he hasn't been around babies in quite some time. After some convincing from Connie and Tom, Whit agrees to take on the responsibility.

Once the Kramers drop off the baby, Whit starts to feel overwhelmed. He has no idea how to take care of a baby and is worried he'll make a mistake. Meanwhile, Connie and Tom are having a blast playing with the baby and showing him around Whit's End.

Things quickly take a turn when the baby starts crying and won't stop. Whit tries everything he can think of to calm the baby down, but nothing seems to be working. He becomes even more flustered when Mrs. Kramer calls to check on the baby and he realizes he doesn't even know how to change a diaper.

Connie and Tom suggest taking the baby to a mother's group they heard about at the nearby church. Whit initially objects, thinking it's only for mothers, but they convince him to give it a try. At the group, Whit meets several other parents and learns some helpful tips on how to take care of a baby. He also realizes that parenting is not just about following a set of rules but about learning to trust his instincts.

As the day goes on, Whit becomes more comfortable with the baby and even starts to enjoy spending time with him. However, their peaceful afternoon is interrupted when a group of teenagers come into Whit's End, causing chaos and accidentally knocking over baby's playpen. Whit rushes to make sure the baby is okay and realizes that he has become attached to him. He even considers keeping the baby longer than planned.

After the Kramer's return, Whit is sad to say goodbye to the baby. Mrs. Kramer thanks them for taking such good care of her son and tells them they can watch him anytime they want. The episode ends with Whit, Connie, and Tom looking at pictures of the baby and reminiscing about their day of babysitting.
