Adventures in Babysitting
2008.01.07
2 year old Michael is very patient with me as he awaits yet another reading of the classic "Chicka-Chicka Boom Boom."
|
This is their dog, Abe, about 10 years old. He is the most loving and patient dog ever--he made himself very clearly known as the lead babysitter in the evening's events allowing the younger boy to lay on him, use him as a pillow, "love" on him, etc. without being anything but loving and patient. When the boys went to bed, he placed himself firmly beside me and never departed until his "mom" was safely home, then he was her shadow. Animals are so intuitive.
If you're seeing lines running horizontally through these photos, feedback is welcome. It's a mystery to me. Batteries are new in the camera. I can't figure it out. |
Because my kids are now adults and so are my nieces and nephews, babysitting isn't something I do much of these days. A co-worker was desperate and figured that since I'm an assistant principal in a building with 700 kids, I might be able to handle the job of entertaining his two boys, ages 2 and 4.

Great shot of your co-worker's son! The expression and the hand on his face is priceless. Nice story about your dog too. I agree about them being intuitive ... quite amazing actually. I do see the lines going horizontally through your images. I'm not sure what could be causing them, unless the resolution settings changed on your camera ... perhaps getting set really low/small? Can you see them on your camera's lcd as well?

I'm thinking there's a REASON why we don't have 2 year olds at our age! They're a LOT of work! Cute kid.

Hmmm...maybe Lex would like to borrow my kids for awhile? ha ha I think kids are so cute when they only have a few teeth in their mouths. They are lucky to have such a nice and patient dog too.
