First day babysitting

Tweet

It always helps when you get to babysit a kid that is absolutely adorable right. This little girl is such a doll. (I’ll refer to her as baby S although she is getting close to 1 1/2 years old) What a way to improve my mood after missing my little one so much while she’s at school. I had a headache last night from only drinking one coffee yesterday. So I didn’t get much sleep. I had my alarm set for 5:15 but my husbands went off at 5 so I just decided to get up rather then have to hear an alarm go off again. That sound drives me nuts. My husband was always really nasty about having the share the kitchen in the mornings but he and I maneuvered around each other well. I had told him when I was asked to babysit how early I would be up and that he would have to deal with me being in the way since I’ll have to deal with the same thing of him being in my way. I woke my little one up at 6:30 to have more time to get her ready before the bus and to give her time to play with the baby S. They had fun before school. This little one is so calm and sweet and happy. I am very lucky. Her mother made me a list of her routine and what to feed her when etc which was very helpful. I could tell around 9 she was getting tired and by 10 she has fallen asleep. I asked her if she wanted to sleep and laid her in the pack and play. She just rolled around and tapped her arms on her legs and stood up a few times and laid back down and then fell asleep. I wasn’t sure how easy it would be if I’d have to hold her or rock her etc but that was easy. She will be here twice a week from 6-3:45. I expect I’ll be quite tired tonight as well as my little one so hopefully we can get to bed earlier.
