Babysitting

Kacia wants me to post about me babysitting for the first time, so here I am. I don't have any pictures or videos though, just words.

For those who suffer sleepiness while reading a lot of words, please exit this website now.....Come back I was just kidding!

......anyways......

About a week ago Jason and Nichole asked me to babysit Justin for them. It was my first time babysitting alone. When I got there he was still eating and I had to finish feeding him so Jason and Nichole could leave. I had those slippers that I got for Christmas on, they have strings with balls on them and Justin kept looking down from his highchair to look at my slippers.

After he ate I got him down and we played for a while. He likes to crawl a lot and I would get on the floor and crawl with him, and he would laugh and try to get away and would go behind his sister's toy box and hide.

And then I changed his diaper for the first time. Sorry Kacia, you wanted me to post about my first time babysitting so I assume you want me to go into detail, but I'm not going into detail about me changing diapers lol. Pass.

After he got changed I gave him a bottle. I thought he would be sleepy since it was around 10:30 pm, but towards the end of his bottle he was playing with it.

Then I brushed his teeth, and he loved it lol. I don't know why, he just likes to brush his teeth, which is a good habit though. Then I had to give him a fluoride pill and the lid was like impossible to get off! He was kinda just watching me probably thinking I'm weird cause I can't open a lid.

Finally I got it open and give him the pill.

He still had a lot of energy left so I played with him for about 15 minutes. Nichole said he had taken a two hour nap before I came, so he just wasn't tired even though it was around 2 hours past his bedtime. We went into his room and I sat on his sister's bed and put his pajamas on. His sister Stephanie has a net above her bed filled with stuffed animals, and he was standing on her bed while I got his pants on and he pulled on her stuffed animals and a couple of them fell down. One of them was a horse, and I took the horse and would get him with it. He would laugh a lot and scream and hit the horse lol.

After playing for a little while I thought he should go to bed because it was almost 11:30 pm and I wanted him to be sleeping by the time his parents came home. So I put him in his crib and stood there for a little while, then left the room and I didn't hear any noise at all so he was asleep. He fell asleep fast, within 10 minutes after I put him to bed. I guess from all that crawling it got him tired.

I got some ice cream and watched a movie until they came home. Yes, I stole their ice cream hehehehehe, except they told me I could have some so I didn't actually steal.

And that's the end of that babysitting story.

I did babysit for Bro. Aaron and Sis. Shannon last week too though. They went to an opry? I don't know the name cause I've never heard of that before. The whole time I thought they were going to an opera with a weird name such as opry. I was like, "they're going to an opera at the grange? Huh...that's random." My parents also went and so did Bro. Steve and Sis. Valerie. And I think Bryan and Stephanie were in the opry too, or just Bryan...I forget...but onto the babysitting story!

Carson was a lot easier to watch than Justin because he can't crawl and get into stuff. He just sits there and you play with him, how easy. He was a good boy too. When they left I was playing with Carson for a while on his blanket. After a while I put on a movie and he just sat there watching it. I played with him during the movie too, and then I noticed he was getting sleepy. So I paused the movie and changed his diaper. Then I got him into his pajamas and wrapped him up into a blanket. Wrapping him into a blanket sounded easier than actually doing it. He kept putting his arms up making it difficult to wrap him up. Good thing I'm not a mom yet because I learned that I can't open lids, and I can't wrap babies in blankets. But I can make them happy so I do alright as a babysitter.

After he was wrapped up I played the movie and gave him his bottle. He didn't drink all of it and was getting tired, so I tried to put him to sleep. He took a little while because he was kind of fussy, but eventually he calmed down and fell asleep in bed. It didn't take him too long to sleep after I put him to bed. So while he was sleeping I got on their computer and talked to Kara online till they came home. Then Bro. Aaron took me home.

So now you all know my babysitting skills.

Oh yeah, when I was at Jason and Nichole's babysitting Justin, when I was watching my movie after he fell asleep I was controlling the volume with this controller that they don't even use. Then the next day when I was home, my mom was talking to Jason on the phone and she told me that Jason said I'm fired because him and Nichole couldn't figure out how I controlled the volume at all, lol. I guess I'm too advanced or something.

One last thing. Today after church a lot of us did a big cleaning job on the downstairs at the grange, and towards the end of the cleaning me and Andrea were leaning against a counter, and then Matt came and leaned against it too and the counter moved back. We were like, "aghhhh! Matt!" He was laughing and was like, "what?? I didn't try to move the counter." It was funny~

Sooooo yeah....that's all. Next time I'll try to remember to take pictures so it will be more fun.

Bye bye!

Oh yeah, Happy Birthday Kacia!!
