I Put the Sit in Babysitting

Today was one of my vacation days and I was, um, let's say lucky enough to get to spend a large portion of it tending my grandchildren. You know them...Miss Personality (turns 4 towards the end of Feb.), Love Bug (16 months), and Little Prince (4 months today). And hey, I'm experienced. I did go through that stage of having three kids under the age of four my very own self. And to relive it, even for a day? Magical. Let me share.

Here are the ladies enjoying their breakfast picnic in the livingroom. As you can maybe tell, their parents are still trying to assimilate all the fabulousness they collected for the holiday.


After the girls had their bath, they stood directly in front of the tv for some time, fascinated by whatever eyecatcher was on there. If they go blind, I'm not saying it will be totally my fault, but I'd be forced to take a share of the blame.



Lucky for me, Little Prince is a total rock star. Completely committed to being cool and smiling for the crowds.

After a fun morning, I took them out to McDonalds and let them partake of the terrible, but terribly appealing for toddlers, food. They girls played in the playland and the boy continued to smile and encourage eye contact. We went to the park for more playing and more happy baby. I should have taken more pictures, but lost the art at some point. Around 3 pm their mother arrived to rescue them all from my clutches and carry them off in her packed Prius.

Aw. I guess reading about it later it was kinda magical after all! Yay for babies on temporary loan!
