Taylor

Hi it’s me again, well it’s not like anyone cares because there obviously haven’t been any views since the last one but I’ll keep writing in hopes that someone will read my blog and be inspired to babysit one day. Anyway Back to Taylor. Ok before I start you should know that Taylor is a girl not a boy. So last year I babysat for Tori Mcjurry. It started out fine. I got 50 $ per month for just walking her home from school and then playing with her until either her sister or mom got home. That was fine for about a month or two. But then came the dreaded day when I realized that Taylor Was a HUGE brat. One day after I picked her up from school she asked me if she could play on the playground behind the school. It was fine with me so she was gone in the blink of an eye. Now this was in the middle of winter and where I live when winter hits it hits hard. Being the absent minded person I am, I forgot to wear my good boots. The ones I was wearing were cloth and water got through easily. Now you’re thinking oh there is no water in winter so she should be fine. Nope. Guess again. When the snow hit my boot it melted from my body heat and when snow melts it turns into water, and then leaks into my boot and makes my feet freezing. So Taylor stared playing on the playground and well I waited about five minutes and then said ok time to go home. She at that second turned into a brat. She bawled at the fact of me telling her to go home. Well this happened every day for the next let’s see year. She didn’t stop doing this until it was the last day of school or if I had a bribe/threat. This got quite annoying. So now her mom asked me to do this again this year and I said yes I figured one of these days ill crack her. Tomorrow is registration day at school and it’s my last year of elementary school. On registration day you only have school for about an hour. So tomorrow I have to take her home and babysit her for about three hours and I’m trying to think of ideas to do to amuse her. She’s going into gr. three. Well if I learned anything from her its don’t underestimate a kid. They usually have two sides and only show you there other side when you really get to know them.

"ogie ogie"

i guess i begin my adventure at Chris and Susan Walls. they have a i think 1 year old named Heidi. shes really cute. but kind of boring to babysit. she sorta just runs around picks stuff up and climbs up onto couches. finally at bedtime (6:30) she started getting ready for bed. i put her in her high chair and gave her some Shreddies with vanilla soy milk, just like Sue said to do. took about 10 minutes Intel she started to splash her Shreddies and soy milk everywhere. SPLAT! well i kind a guessed she was done eating and got her into her pajamas. then put her down with her favourite pink blanket. i tried to close the curtains when i realised they were blankets and they fell on me. i had to leave to get a chair so i could reach and Heidi started to cry. so after i put the "curtains" back up i picked up Heidi trying to figure out what was wrong. she started to say "ogie ogie" and then she pointed at the kitchen. so i went into the kitchen and sure enough she pointed at a bin of cookies. finally after i caved i gave her a "ogie".then back to bed she went. i put her down in her crib and when i was leaving the room she decided she was going to stand up. i said " no Heidi lay down" and she thought was a joke so she did it a couple more times. once she went to bed i cleaned up the left over toys and whatnot. then to the chamber of no return the computer room. i started playing some games and after what felt like an hour i got bored. really really bored. i didn't realize you could get bored so easily by the computer. but i was. so i tried to think of something else to do. i walked into the family room to watch TV but the TV reception was gone. then i was so bored i started playing with the baby's toys.i tries to make a Goldberg machine but that didn't quite work. then i tied together a bunch of the rolling toys and walked around the kitchen.that got boring really fast.then back to the computer i went. i talked to my sister on Google chat and she suggested i write a song. so i wrote a song. its called prince charming or to the boy's of our generation. then i got an idea to write a blog about babysitting. now here we are. i hope somebody reads this and I'm not just writing this for the sake of writing this.well its a good time passer.any way my conclusion in babysitting is, the babysitting part is easy but finding something to do after there in bed is the hard part.
