I've started a temporary babysitting job for a friend. Her mother-in-law usually watches her daughter (2 and a half) and niece (1 and a half) while their mothers work, but she has had to go out of town for six weeks... so here I am. Four kids aren't too bad (when I get to send 2 home at the end of the day!). And the girls are precious- both are mild mannered, sweet, and in a good routine that fits well with our schedule. It's a bit of work to load everyone up to drop Will off at school and Em (only Tues and Thurs), but everyone is cooperating well. And God bless the mini-van- what a blessing! (Another thing you never thought you'd say when you were in college and pre-children stages of life.) Em's adjusting to sharing EVERYTHING of hers with the little girls, but she likes having other kids around. As for Will, this has sealed the deal for him, and he really wants a baby brother.
Did I mention the girls both speak Spanish and a bit of Korean (in addition to English)? They are being patient with me, and I'm learning all kinds of nouns in other languages. (By the way- "po po" -like what we call the police in the South- and "poo poo"- like what we all call poop- seem easily confused. Especially when "po po" is Korean for kiss...)
Watch out Scotty- Will, Em, and I may be talking you into another baby before you know it!
