Babysitters
Just when I thought things were going pretty smooth, Mom and Dad sprung another new trick on me.
Babysitters!
I have a nice routine going in the evening. A couple of snacks, some playtime and hit the sack around 8:30. I was ready for a regular night when Mom said that she and Dad were going out to dinner. That was ok with me. Duffy and I could stay home alone but who was going to give me my snacks? Duffy doesn't know how to open the refrigerator so it sure can't be him.
I was starting to get worried about this babysitter thing. I thought some stranger was going to come and be with me. When the doorbell rang I was out in the back with Dad and we went in the house to meet the 'babysitters'.
What a surprise! The babysitter was Grandma Donna! She had Grandpa with her too. So then Mom told grandma a bunch of stuff about how to warm my snacks and how to change my diapers and all kinds of other stuff. Boy, you'd think they were going away for a month.
As soon as Mom and Dad left to go to dinner, Grandpa started playing with me in my portacrib. I have a music box in there and it was playing lots of tunes. After a while I got hungry so Grandma gave me a bottle. I downed that one quick and asked politely for another. It took a while to get it because Grandpa was in charge of warming it up and he was taking his time. After I finished the second bottle I was tired of sitting on Grandma's lap so I read books with Gramps for a while. We read a book about some girl named Mary who had this little lamb that followed her everywhere - even to school (which was against the rules). Grandpa says it was against the rules because nobody wanted to pick up the lamb poop all over the schoolyard.
After I got tired of that I went for a ride in my swing which I really like. Pretty soon Duffy heard the car door and woofed that Mom and Dad were home. Mom came downstairs to see us in the family room. She was laughing because she caught the babysitters making out on the couch.
Babysitters are ok I guess.
