Yesterday i had my first experience looking after 2 babies on my own... OH MY GOD!!!!! That is hard work!!! I was babysitting Matilda, a friends 16 month old baby. She is a lovely girl, but very demanding. She is also currently in leg braces because she had to have something done to her hip... She was very well behaved considering... However, Austin!! My darling son... he wouldnt eat or sleep. Little bugger just wanted to play. I ended up laying down with him, once Matilda was asleep, just so that he would close his eyes.
I did learn one thing from this very short experience... I wont be having another child just yet LOL. Then again, i suppose it is easier when they are both yours. Matilda and Austin barely know each other. It would probably have been different if it was April.
Here are some pics...

Telling Tilly off for not sharing her cup LOL
Well that was pretty much my day yesterday...
Tomorrow Shannon and i are off to Inverell for the weekend to see his grandmother. She is 89 and dying. She hasn't met Austin yet, so we are taking him up there to meet her. Hopefully it wont be too big a weekend. I am not really looking forward to it. But we are doing something nice for an old lady and that makes me feel good. I just hope she is nicer to me in person than she is on the phone... LOL
Hope everyone has a great weekend!!
See you all on Tuesday! xoxoxox |
