A couple of weekends ago we were babysitting the grandkids not just for a couple of hours but a sleepover. Today we were asked again to babysit because Dan (Jeff's son) wants to go out with a friend. Since we did not have anything planned for tonight, Jeff agreed to accept the request. Unfortunately I cannot spend a lot of time with them tomorrow because I do volunteer work on Sundays. After the phone call from Dan, Jeff got another call from his friend Carlos asking if we wanted to play tennis in the morning. It's too bad Jeff did not get this call first, it would have been more fun to play doubles with Carlos and Mark. Oh bother.
Even if the grandkids will be dropped off after dinner and will be picked up before lunch, it is still a few hours before their bedtime. Sometimes it's very tiring entertaining them because they do require a lot of attention specially the little one. She needs a lot of comforting before she goes to sleep. She usually cries a lot but Jeff seems to know how to take care of her. I feel like I am not a good grandmother because I can't make her stop crying. Even when changing diapers, it takes both of us to change her and again she does a lot of crying. The rest of the time, she would just go around the living room and dining room exploring. She likes to touch or play with anything different she sees in our home. The majority of items she is not allowed to play with or touch. She then gets a little upset but she does listen when we say "NO". Well, that's how our weekend is about. I hope yours is more exciting than this.
