Day 1 Babysitting

So day 1 of babysitting went fairly well. I did get my shock in the morning to see just how spoiled baby Nolan has gotten and it took a toll on me. Thankfully, the afternoon went much smoother. Nolan stayed awake just about all morning yesterday. He fought sleep like the best of 4 year olds and only took a couple of very short 10 minute cat naps. I was also glad to have my granddaughter home from school to help with picking paci's up off the floor and rinsing them off. The afternoon went much smoother with better naps. The worst part is that he wants to be held or walked around. He screams bloody murder if I sit down or when I start to sit down. Since I am here to hold down the noise with my daughter working from home, this is a biggie. How was your Monday?? Photo Credit: My own, The spoiled baby!!

100%!! Now I see why she wanted a sitter for all day long. She changed her tone when she added up the cost and her hubby said no way.

I can’t imagine how tired you are! The baby is certainly adorable though.

Thats one more day than I would be doing I would be hopeless If the baby cried I would go into panic mode I'd be outside looking for help.

Day one sounds rough but you handled it like a pro. Babies who only want to be held are so tiring, my arms would be sore too. Hope today goes easier and he gives you some longer naps.
