Sunday 10/6/13

Well, our babysitting weekend is over, and we are back home. Now I think I need another weekend to recover from this one. I told my d-i-l that I don't know how she does it everyday because I was exhausted after less than 24 hours. LOL! Lord knows, I've done it all before and with four kids too instead of two, but I guess that's why we have kids when we're young—we have the energy to handle it then.

I did have to laugh though about T, the 3½ year old. Like I said yesterday he was a gem for us and didn't give us a bit of trouble. But no sooner did his parents get home and within an hour he was acting up, throwing a tantrum and getting put in time-out. I had to hide a smile at his antics, it reminded be so much of my own son, (not this boy's father, who is my oldest son, but my other son also a T—hmmm now that's a coincidence). He had such a temper as a toddler and young boy, he would throw tantrums and had mood swings like you wouldn't believe. Then when we would go to school conferences his teachers would say how nice, and quiet and even tempered he was. I felt like looking at them and saying, HUH, whose kid are you talking about??? But like grandson T, I think it's just that he knew when he could vent safely and when he needed to keep himself under control. :)

Well back to the regular old grind tomorrow.
