Busy, Not Bored!

A week of babysitting for Nanna and Poppa is a very busy time!  Those two little boys kept us on the go constantly - a bit of a task for two retired people!  Our day started about 6:30am each day.  I would sneak upstairs to the bathroom while Munchie made sure that Poppa was awake....

..........then I would give Little Smiley some little snacks so Mommee could sneak off to work....

.........and thus, our day would begin.  We spent the rest of the day finding things to do that would amuse two tiny boys until Mommee and Daddee had finished their work day and returned home.  One day we went to the Mall...........

..........Munchie was so happy to get to drive this fire truck and Poppa steered carefully to reinforce Munchie's game!  You would be absolutely amazed at how well Munchie can drive though!  He has a battery-powered car and at least once a day he would drive up to the nearby park............

..........along with Poppa.  There was no need to tell him which way to turn, he already knew....and he is learning to stop at each corner to "stop, look and listen" before he drives across.  Sometimes Little Smiley and I went with them.....

...........the boys would have a swing and play for a while.  Munchie liked this swing....

....and as you can see, Poppa pushed him really high!  Little Smiley was more inclined to try out this swing...........

.........and he preferred to swing a little more cautiously..........in fact, some days he just stayed home and took advantage of Munchie's absence............

.........to read some of the books and play with the toys without his big brother's supervision!  Then, there came a day when Poppa, Munchie & I were walking back from Tim Horton's with coffee for Mommee and Daddee.........Munchie looked up the road and proclaimed "There's Gramma's new car!".  Sure enough, when we arrived at Munchie's house.........there was Gramma........

..........which meant that it would soon be time for a party in honour of Little Smiley's first birthday.
