Home Daycare

Today is my turn with Brandon and Jesselyn.   My coworkers said I was lucky to have the day off for a four day weekend.  Hmm…while today is my dayoff (from work), I have a feeling that it will be much more tiring than any day at the office.  The morning went well!  We played with a bunch of different toys, mostly sharing them, read books, and colored.  Brandon is learning how to share, but I am glad we have duplicates of some things, like, strangly, golf balls.  That was the first refereeing match we did, even while Jennifer was here.  We ate goldfish for a snack and then ate lunch around 1115am.  I fed Jesselyn first because Brandon was busy with his toys.  Towards the end of Jesselyn’s lunch, as she was slowing down and not eating as much Brandon started opening his mouth and lunging for her spoon.  Ok, I got the point.  So I fed Brandon his lunch while Jesselyn played with the toy car.  She was getting a little fussy, getting frustrated because other toys were in the road.  Brandon was also instigating, trying to get her off the car.  Then he got whiny when I took him away and told him to leave Jesselyn alone.  I told him when he calmed down, he could play again.  He said no and started walking down the hall towards our room.  It was dark because I had closed both bedroom doors to have them not go in there.  I asked him if he wanted to take a nap and he said, “yeah”.  Ok, so I opened the door and let him go in there, still whimpering some.  He hopped up on his bed, Some people think that “natural” means “hocus pocus,” but that is not the case at viagra cipla 20mg all.

So after Jesselyn was sound asleep, I took Brandon out to the other room so he wouldn’t wake her up.  Again, if Brandon slept as well as he ate, I’d be set.  But what would life be without some challenges.  So I walked him around, like the old days, in the dark, to really tire him out.  It worked like a charm.  After two minutes, I could feel his head get really heavy.  Yes…so down on his mattress he went and here I am.  Ok, time for me to eat!  Then hopefully my mom will be back for a tagteam effort in the afternoon.

  1. I had my own day care on Friday too. I was so tired, I went to sleep before 9 pm. Katie doesn’t sleep as much in the day these days. When she did, that was when I would rest.

  2. Yea, it’s always best to nap when the kids nap, whenever you have a chance. In fact, they only slept for 1 hour – long enough for me to blog and eat lunch. Jesselyn sat up and started crying, and I tried to put her back down, then Brandon woke up. I knew they were still tired (as was I), so I tried what I could to get them to go back down in their respective rooms. Jesselyn wouldn’t lie day unless I was in the room, probably because it was unfamiliar to her. And Brandon wouldn’t stay in his room by himself. So I took Brandon into Jesselyn’s room and had them both lay down. Jesselyn kept her head down and was still, but eyes open, Brandon had eyes closed, but was rolling around. Within 5 minutes, both were asleep. I figured I might as well get some rest too, I still had the rest of the afternoon with them. The next thing I know, was my cell phone was ringing in the next room, and my mom (who had let herself in after her lunch out) answered it. It was 230pm! They had slept for another 1.5 hours 🙂 Aaah…my mom said it was Jennifer just checking in on me to see how the kids were in the morning. I felt bad that I was sleeping on the job, but at least I knew they were safe!
