This weekend was our first adventure into overnight babysitting. The victims were our neighbors, Isabel and Zoe, ages 4 and 2. They’re really good kids but we were pretty much worn out by the end. Kudos to mom and dad for doing it every other day of the year.
We shut down the San Jose Children’s Discovery Museum, had a fun-filled dinner at Red Robin, got frozen yogurt at First Treat in Livermore, watched the first half of Chitty Chitty Bang Bang twice, colored, played Wii, and dyed Easter eggs. And after Auntie Bryn bribed Zoe with strawberries, she went potty in the toilet, which was a big deal. Turned out her method was far more effective than my, “now this is your last diaper so you’re going to want to keep it clean,” pep talk.
I think in the end we learned we could be pretty ok parents when the time comes. But that it would also be pretty ok if that time didn’t come for awhile.
