Babysitting

I posted awhile back that I had been babysitting at the rec on Monday, Wednesday and Friday mornings, here's a little update. When I first started babysitting it was just Cheyenne and Brody. Then there were a few other kids. We were at about 7 or 8 for awhile and that was a lot! Friday I had the most kids I've ever had...15! The oldest one being maybe 5 and the youngest one 4 months! They are all good kids. They've come to understand what they can and can't do and know that when I say no they can't do something. The hour goes by pretty fast with that many kids! I usually don't have any problems until one of newly potty trained kids has to go to the bathroom and needs assistance. Then they all follow us into the bathroom. I usually have one of the infants in my hand while trying to keep track of the rest of them. I think that maybe we're going to have to have 2 people in the childcare room on these mornings, just for potty breaks! I enjoy watching the kids and it has taught Cheyenne to share and get along with other children.
