The babysitting side of the trip was really fun but sometimes frustrating! I officially know how tired a mom can get! At the very beginning of the trip Mary and I were teasing the Hansens about going to bed at 8:00 but two days later we were the first ones in bed! The two kids are 18 months and 3 years old so they definitely kept us on our toes all day long! Parenting isn't for whimps! But I loved spending time with a little boy that would constantly say things that would make me laugh and a baby girl that is a total mama's girl but is an extremely good cuddler when mama isn't around! Words cannot describe how much I love these kids!
I have suddenly started quoting Bentley (the three year old) here are the major quotes:
1. Hey you happy? - this was said anytime he knew I was getting a little bit frustrated or tired.
2. So tell me about your day! - He said this anytime there was a moment of silence
3. I was a wittle scawed...just a wittle bit! - some of the rides at Disneyland were a little too intense for this little man
4. Then of course every car ride was filled with "If You're Happy and You Know It."
5. He let me tell you a secret! (then he would whisper something about throwing you into dog poop or something about me being his best friend)
On top of gaining some awesome quotes I have learned two other things this past week. The first on is- If you have a three year old be ready to stop for a potty break at every moment! I helped Bentley pee in a bottle 4 times in one trip...it's a good thing he's a boy or that could have been a lot harder. Second is hot sauce is the best threat in the world! When Bentley wasn't listening I would simply ask him if he wants hot sauce and he would instantly turn into an angel! AMAZING!Me and Mary are really really excited about a lot of these pictures! Here are a couple of the best ones from are awesome trip!
