Wednesday with Sebastian


Meet the lil man I babysit on Wednesdays! Isn't he just the cutest? I sure think so. I mean, obviously considering I even thought about agreeing to babysit the little munchkin. It's no secret among friends and family that I am not a big baby/kid person. I was awkward with my three younger siblings, refusing to help with diapers or babysitting. Something about Sebs broke down that wall in my heart though and so here I am, the girl that swore she'd NEVER have a baby, having a weekly playdate with a child that is not yet one.
He's a blast. He makes the best expressions and is just a little sweetheart. 
Last week was my first time babysitting EVER. I was a tad nervous, I'm not going to lie. I kept having to remind myself that I was around for three babies, two of which I saw every part of care and keeping even if I refused to get my hands dirty. (Eww baby germs) Luckily last Wednesday went without a hitch. I took naps when he did which was Awesome! We watched tons of Yo Gabba Gabba and Mickey Mouse Playhouse. We laughed and made faces and just all around had a good time. 
Today was mostly the same, there were less episodes of Yo Gabba Gabba but more of Mickey Mouse Playhouse and Handy Manny. I even snuck in this week's episode of Gossip Girl and the first half of an SNL from two weeks ago! 
This week I felt a little more lost on what to do during the awake times. We drank baba's, ate some food, threw some toys around, crawled around the living room, went into his room and played in the mini ball pit but I felt like maybe I should come up with some activities or turn off the tv. Honestly it's not like he was paying attention to the tv half of the time. Unless the Hot Dog song came on Mickey Mouse club... but what activities are there for a boy just about to be one? I've seriously never babysat before this. Am I doing things right? I need to pay more attention to what the parents do on the weekend. (I live with them.) 
If you have any suggestions please let me know! I think next week we're going to take some pictures of him with my new diana mini but I don't know what else.


Well, my NaNoWriMo procrastination station has been successful and now I'm sleepy. Surprising considering I had two naps today.
