Babysitting...yay.

So, I babysat my two nephews and one niece all weekend. It was exhausting but fun. I just thought some of the things they said and did were funny! I was talking to my 6-year-old nephew and he asked me if I had seen Barack Obama on TV. Surprised, I answered yes. He told me that Barack Obama is silly and he wants his 1-year-old brother to be president. My one-year-old nephew never learned my name, he just called me Mom. He would usually have to say it a few times before I'd remember he was talking to me. My 4-year-old niece would keep taking my lip gloss and put it on. One morning while I was getting ready, she took my mirror. She looked at herself and said, "I'm so gorgeous! That's a big word for really pretty." She then kissed the mirror. I was laughing pretty hard. Their parents came home and I was getting ready to leave. Her mom was holding her and we noticed that she was crying. We asked her what was wrong and she said, "I want to stay with Liz. I don't want her to go home!" Oh my, that was so cute! I did learn a few things about kids though. 1. They don't eat very much. 2. Don't give babies cereal with milk. 3. They come first, it's not just about you. You have to constantly watch them and you can't just do whatever you want. 4. Discipline is harder than it looks. 5. I'm not quite ready to have kids yet!

First Blog!

Happy Pioneer Day! I was looking at my sister's blog and I thought, that's cool, I think I'll get one! So I signed up, and it took me forever to find how to write a new blog. I'm sure I'll know how to navigate around it soon. I'm pretty sure no one will read this, but that's ok by me. Maybe I'll put the address on my facebook page. Anyways, I'm pretty excited to be doing this! I get to watch my niece and 2 nephews this whole weekend, which is exciting because I don't have to work until Monday!
