Babysitting My Granddaughter

I’m babysitting this week while my daughter goes back to work.  Poor her.  Lucky me.

This morning after our exercise routine and 5 mile jog, my granddaughter, Natalie, and I hunkered down for some serious bonding time.  I taught her how to scan raw eggs, ice cream, and mashed potatoes.  A very important life skill to have.

Next, we created a video that we are considering posting to You Tube.  It’s called ‘Grandma Cutting Zzzzs.’  I have to edit out the scene where grandma is drooling.   Natalie thinks it is funny.  I do not.

I taught her how to create her own blog and edit the HTML. I told her I didn’t want to teach her how to program.  I do not like looking for truant semi-colons or the if-then statements that don’t work.  She acquiesced.

We took lots of digital pictures and are in the process of creating a digital scrapbook.

All this before 9:30 a.m.

In the afternoon, we went to the beauty shop and had our hair done and our our nails manicured and painted.  We shopped at the mall and then had curly fries and Dr. Pepper at Arby’s.  We watched a chick flick and giggled over boys.

Quite the day for a granddaughter who is only 12 weeks old . . .
