    Default Babysitting

    I'm babysitting my two sisters. One is 5 the other is 1. Any ideas? Right now, I've got some music they like on, and they are playing with toys in my room (that's a treat, for I never let them be in here let alone play).

    After I make dinner for em, we're going to watch a movie. Any other ideas?

    Don't watch a movie (the 1-year-old will not watch it for more than five minutes anyway). Play with them, read to them, let the older one interact with the younger and have her help you put her into bed, then play with the older girl till she gets tired and falls asleep by herself. You will have made an unforgettable impression. Trust me.

    They both just woke up for a nap. It's about 6:15pm and they just woke up from a nap. It's annoying...LOL

    Stick some music on and get them dancing about. Kids love it.

    You know what that means: you will have to wear them down. May the force be with you, Alexanderofmacedon.

    A certain chocolate ice cream incident involving two boys, 2 and 4, a desperate Dad and scores of laughing passers-by comes to mind...

    I will spare Alexanderofmacedon the gruesome details of that incident (lest we discourage him in the face of the enemy) but suffice it to say we took a family shower that day..

    ..with our clothes on, didn't matter anymore...

    Read to them when they're a bit worn down, that should put them right to sleep. If they're like my half brother (who's 8 now) don't let them near ANY FORM OF WIRE, THEY WILL CHEW THROUGH IT AND RUIN YOUR PS2, VCR, ETC. So be careful with that.

    Good luck.

    Well, it's official guys! I changed my first poopoo diaper. It wasn't really that bad. A couple drops of calogne under my nose before I started and I was off!

    Let it be known, I changed my first poop diaper at age 14!

    It only took me two diapers to get the tape down. She's got some new clothes and a new diaper to match!
