When I told my mom of the events that happend in this post, she suggested I make a blog after this weekend and when I told Kelly, she decided to let me guest blog! How fun!! I hope everyone enjoys and laughs a little. I'm going to try and see if I can document all the fun Mr. and Mrs. Fleming are going to miss on their first VACA without their little darlings, I know I'm glad I won't be missing a second of it...
Day 1: July 16th 2010
---So I got here at about 3 so Kelly and Gary could get ready to leave, standard for when I babysit. I just need to keep the girls (mainly Brooke) occupied whilst they prepare themselves.
Kelly leaves first and there is some cries from the crowd but only for a little because good ol’ dad is still here, but I warn NOT for long…thought Brooke did have a bit of a fit it was short lived (thank god). My choice of bribe was that she could help me order the pizza, so exciting right? I thought so, as did Brooke.
Time goes by, Caroline is fussy so I feed her while Brooke goes through my purse. When she asked what a certain medicine in my purse was I told her straight up, birth control, yes I’m pretty straight-forward with her. Luckily we didn’t have “the talk” just yet, I’ll leave that to Gary, and he’ll love that.
That brings us to approx oh let’s say 5:55.
Set the scene: I’m in the kitchen cleaning up dinner, Caroline is on the ground playing with a measuring spoon, Brooke is in the family room sitting on the bumbo…or so I thought. I asked Brooke what she was doing, her response, “Just hiding”…hmm. I ask her if she needs to use the potty. Nope. Ok…I begin to wonder why is she “hiding” in the corner only to find out that sister had shat a large shadoobie on the carpet…and I mean BIG! It was disgusting, I didn’t know what to do with myself, I had only been here for 3 hours!!
I proceeded to run her into the bathroom and set her on the toilet to finish any business, and then called her mom. Kelly laughed, which is understandable I’m sure I will be later on, and now I have just one more embarrassing story to tell all of Brooke’s future friends, she deserves it now..JK J Just so you know, I did pick up the poop, but it took me just a little while as I have a very bad gag reflex and almost had some more surprises to clean up…and don’t worry no pictures were taken
Things finally settled down, Caroline was still crawling around and Brooke was playing with some play-do, innocent enough right? I then remember that Kelly and Gary have a dog, who LOVES to throw her dog food everywhere, like right in Caroline’s crawling area…sweet. Just as I suspect, Caroline is gnawing on a half piece of Bella’s yummy dog food, that’ll look nice tomorrow…
Approx 6:52
While I’m changing Caroline’s diaper and putting her into some pjs, what does Ms. Diva do now? Oh you know, pee in the bumbo seat…cool. I’m now convinced she is doing this on purpose since she proceeded to jump up and down in the seat saying, “up and down” and slashing urine everywhere. So what does Aunt Maggie do? Puts her in the pull-up, yeah I went there. Doesn’t matter though because she could care less, let’s just say someone is only getting read ONE book tonight.
Now while the night is winding down, I’ve become a bit calmer, as has Brooke. I’m predicting this weekend will be very interesting and bring many memories good, interesting, and certainly funny. Though I feel like I complained a lot about my first night, I love my nieces so very much and this is just a preview of probably how my own future children will be, and by then these little boogers will be watching them and having to pick up their poop in the corner…till then I guess I’m fine doing it. The things we do for those we love!
And as I finish writing this post, I just got a nice back massage from my little Brooke...she is sometimes so sweet....but then again we're now fighting about going to bed and turning off the Wonder Pets, i bet you can guess who on which side..
