PLAY IN THE MORNING

Tomorrow I am babysitting our neighbors two little boys.  They are a handfull.  Mom says I will be fine.  They are coming over here, and they are excited to be going on a little fun outing at our house.  I am glad we have a fenced in back yard.  I think we will have some fun outside.  At least they can run and play during the morning, while I sit out there and watch them.  Maybe I’ll run and play with them, which is what I usually end up doing.  I will then let them “help” me make some lemonade to have with their midmorning snack.  Whenever I baby sit I realize that I have gained a lot of confidence in handling kids.  I know how to soothe them and play with them and be very, very patient.  I still think it beats working at the indoor golf center, even though Marty loves working over there.  But, different likes for different bites.  Or different stokes for different folks, that’s all.  When I am babysitting I really enjoy the kids.  Even if sometimes they are grouchy.  They loves for me to read to them too.  They know that means quite naptime.
