Babysitting again...
I was babysitting again this morning... I think it's a lot of fun because Ada gets to see other people, and because it's fun to get out of the whole routine thing. I watched Ada's best friend Lizzy this morning... it was a little adventurous... not hectic, just exciting. First I ran out of tissue because she's teething and sneezing up a storm (not that I usually have very much tissue to begin with... I keep forgetting to buy some). Then she wanted to watch Mickey Mouse, and our tv doesn't work so I put on a old Mickey cartoon that I have... she thought that was weird because it wasn't Playhouse Disney version, but she was okay with it. Then when Ada woke up I put some cereal out for the two to eat, and at first they were doing good, then they decided that it was funner on the floor than in the bowl. I cleaned that up and started doing dishes when it got really quiet... I went to find them and they were in my bathroom busy cleaning my shower with a toilet brush. Hmmm. I washed their hands and got them out of the bathroom, cleaned up the bathroom a little and closed the door so they wouldn't do it again... and I find them dumping more cereal from the box into their bowl and from there onto the kitchen floor again... sigh. I guess I'll learn one of these days that it's easier to keep an eye on them than to clean up the messes after they've already made them. Oh well.

Rhees Family
This is such a fun family. They're sweet and playful. It's fun to get to know them and try not to freeze in the cold rain! It was...

Well that sounds miserable and reminds me very much of how Adam and Rachel were a year and a half to two years ago. That is when we got locks on the pantry, storage room, lower kitchen cupboards and Ruth and Kate's bedroom. We also diligently kept the bathroom doors closed and the toilets shut. Still things happened. We have a couple of pictures of all of the contents from the trash can placed into the toilet. Thankfully, Rachel doesn't do stuff like that anymore for the most part, so I only have to worry about Anya. Toddlers can be tough, and a quiet toddler is most often a naughty toddler. But it took to kid # 5 when we had 2 naughty toddlers before we bothered to lock everything. I wonder what people think when they come to look at our house and have to unlock so many doors and cupboards???
