I'm So Cool. Just Ask 2-Year Olds.

I got to babysit Paige and Levi on Saturday! I've done it before for a couple hours here and there, but this was a biggest chunk of time yet. It has actually been a long time since I've made it out to Oakdale so I hoped that they would remember me and not revolt at my presence. There was nothing to worry about! Amanda totally prepared them for my arrival and we had a blast. We played Thomas the Train and read some books and then Mal- who had never met them yet- stopped by to help. I appreciate her so much because she volunteered for the gig. Only once Mallory stopped by was I able to break out the camera. See Amanda. It was a normal day!

I bragged to Paige that Mal could make a cat out of the blocks, which of course was impossible. But she did build a mean house.

Phew, now Paige had a place to store her jewelry.

Levi snuggled with me for awhile to watch Max and Ruby.

I told Levi "cheese" and this was the precious result. What a ham!

Paige showed me the proper way to take care of her baby.

Paige was shocked that I could draw a kitty. Please no pictures of the sitter.

Mal had to leave us, but lunch was a breeze. They can now point and ask for what they want. I never knew how nice it is to hear "yes" and "no." They ate everything I gave them and they were rewarded with a cookie!

I said no photos!

Alright, whatever, who cares. Levi and Paige didn't care that I wasn't wearing make-up. As long as I read Thomas the Train. Twice.
