Emily's soccer coach asked if i would watch their 6 month old baby Hazel. Both parents are teachers so I expect her in an hour and will have her till about 1. He wanted me to meet his step-daughter who is 7 at the bus stop when she got off the bus at 2 but I told him I couldn't do that since i have to pick up Nicholas at school. His "normal" babysitter's daughter has the flu so he is using me as an "emergency". I wonder if she's crawling yet!! LOL

Well, after crying for an hour off and on, she is back to sleep. She seems fussy to me. She ate her bottle and her cereal so maybe she will sleep the rest of the time. LOL

PS Charlie had headphones on his head to drown her out. HA

It could be that you are a stranger and that's why she is crying. My niece, who is 7 months, cries if a stranger even looks at her!! LOL!!!

It's hard to have a baby around after yours are grown. My nephew cried and cried anytime my sister left him until she returned until he was over a year old. Needless to say she didn't leave him much ... no one would volunteer to watch him!

Have fun with Hazel. I hope she's still sleeping :)

Well, maybe its separation anxiety from mom and dad. HA

She is cooing in her car seat now. She prefers the car seat over me and she really likes Charlie to carry her around and he sings and dances for her. Its hilarious!!

Only 3 more hours to go ... we may head out for a walk when it warms up. Its a little chilly out right now but i may put on her sweater and out we go.

how's it going now? Isn't it funny how such a tiny person needs so much time and attention?? If you do this now and then she'll get to know you. That should make it easier. Good luck. I guess it's an afternoon nap for 2, eh?

Bet youll need a nap when she's gone home! I love my DGK to bits, but they wear me out.

She's gone. I had her 6 hours and I charged $10 an hour so I made $60 today. Not bad I say :).

I do need a nap now. ha ha

Some stamping money!!! The best part is you didn't even have to leave home and you made as much an hour as I make right now!!! I think I like your job better! Wanna trade?

$10 per hour?? Wow! Is that the going rate for babysitting?? I might have to find a new career!!

Oh wait---I don't really like babies that much!! LOL

Sounds like fun for you though!!!!

I ended up taking an hour long nap before I rushed to the college fair that was going on. We got a bunch more brochures to look at. Now running to soccer with Nicholas while Charlie works on Emily's senior ad for her yearbook. She waited till last minute (as always) and the deadline is tomorrow so he is putting photos on a CD which I have no idea how to do.

Hazel will be back tomorrow at 6:30 am. I hope she cries less this time. She didn't cry the whole time but she sure seemed fussy to me!!

I remember when I was a teen, I used to babysit two children for $0.35 an hour. I thought it was a big deal when they gave me a raise to $0.50 an hour! Times have changed...for the better if you're the sitter!
