Babysitting

I love having a day off through the week. It usually is on Wednesdays. Gives me time to catch up on things around the house because I don't like to do it on the weekends. I also like to use my day off to just be lazy and do nothing at all (which is what I decided to do today,ha).

One of my babysitting kids birthday is today. Penelope Rose (I call her Penni) is ONE YEAR old today. I can't believe how fast they grow. She is not walking yet, but we are practicing alot. I think kids just do things on their own time, when they are ready and not when we are ready for them to do things. That is my experience anyway from babysitting. I had one boy that was terrible to potty train. We didn't think he would EVER get potty trained. Then one day, he just decided he was going to do it and he did it from that day on. Little burger. ha.

I know the parents get worried if their kids are not doing stuff by a certain time. I don't remember it being like that when I was a kid. Shoot, I stuttered up to the third grade and I drank a bottle up to 5 years old. I turned out fine (some may say otherwise,ha). I just think the teachers (no offense Angie,ha) and doctors expect too much too soon from the kids today. I think they just need to learn at their own pace. That is my opinion though. I know times have changed alot since I was a kid.

I hope you all have a great summer. It will go by fast so enjoy it!

My dog is barking to go potty. See ya later gators.
