Gail Ertel gives her great granddaughter, McKenzie Campbell, a bath at their home in Woodbridge, VA. Ertel's days are defined by the child. She bathes her, cooks for her, gives her medicine. She stacks blocks. Plays music. Walks her around the block. McKenzie sleeps four to five hours a night -- so Ertel does, too. She gets by with what she calls {quote}Navy showers{quote} -- five-minute affairs with McKenzie perched on the toilet while Ertel peers around the shower curtain.

Gail Ertel gives her great granddaughter, McKenzie Campbell, a bath at their home in Woodbridge, VA. Ertel's days are defined by the child. She bathes her, cooks for her, gives her medicine. She stacks blocks. Plays music. Walks her around the block. McKenzie sleeps four to five hours a night -- so Ertel does, too. She gets by with what she calls "Navy showers" -- five-minute affairs with McKenzie perched on the toilet while Ertel peers around the shower curtain.
