It's Wednesday... I think?

This morning I babysat for a class and it was fun and I enjoyed myself. I really like babies!

You know how there are people that you just don't like, maybe there isn't a real tangible reason, but just something about them rubs you wrong? Well, I feel that way about the lead teacher for the babysitting. She's a fine lady, perfectly nice, but her attitude about things I dislike, and what she decides is important. Yes, she is in that position for a reason, however, I'm not sure she should be.

She runs around panicky about almost everything... oh my gosh, the baby is crying, let me go get him tissues, the two year olds are going to crush the babies (they were playing fine) she is just overly protective. I'm not a fan of that. She wants everything to be just so... they are BABIES! They don't stay or sit still or listen very well. They are busy and crazy. They just are. And as babysitters, I feel that it is our job to help them enjoy themselves and forget that Mommy isn't there. As mom, yes, there is discipline and such, but we are not to give punishment. It's just difficult. She feels that her way is the right way and the only right way. Fortunately it is only once a month with her. :)

Anyway, more laundry, more dishes and getting dinner ready.

Cute story: Lucy was in the class this morning and everything that she saw, she said, "Oooh" "Wow" "Ba!" (Ball and several other words too). She was SO excited to be in the class with all the different toys that she couldn't contain herself! She was so excited to play with everything! Gosh I love that kid!
