Adventures in Babysitting

We have neighbors, Emi and Carlos, who have a little boy, Keifer, who is 9 days older than Owen. Carlos is in the military and has been away since December, and will be gone through April. Upon hearing that he'd left, we let Emi know that if there was anything we could do for her while Carlos is gone we would be more than happy to help.

I was genuinely excited to get an e-mail from Emi asking if we could watch Carlos for her because she had to work over the weekend. We, of course, said yes. Friday night we stopped by to see Emi and Keifer to see if there were any special instructions. She had Keifer on the floor and we put Owen down on next to him. Owen immediately rolled closer to Owen so that they were shoulder-to-shoulder. They happily shared a rattle, and were soon shrieking and screaming together.

Keifer was a joy to babysit! Owen had just gone up for his morning nap when Emi brought Keifer over. He played in Owen's Jump-a-roo and with some toys. Once Owen woke up, it was time for Keifer's nap. Owen then had lunch and played as well. Keifer took a nice nap. I tried to feed him afterwords, but he was too curious about his surroundings and wouldn't take his bottle from me (luckily it'd only be an hour until Emi would be picking him up, so she could take him home to feed). So we put him on the floor to play with Owen. The two of them had a good time together. They rolled around, they played with toys. Keifer is laid-back and sweet. Owen is outgoing and sweet. A great combination, I think. They had a great time. We can't wait to get the two together again!

Hey man, what's up?


I'll put my right foot up, and you put your left foot up.

So many activities!
