the moment of truth
This weekend will be a test. A moment of truth for me. Can I take care of all three of my sister's children overnight? Am I Super Tia or not? I've had the two oldest overnight many times. But never the bay-bay. I've babysat him till bed time, at his own home, with his own bed, but never at my house. I'm nervous, to say the least.
I just want them to have a good time, and maybe get a little bit of sleep for myself.
I think the main cause of my concern though, is that I have such high standards to live up to. I remember when I was a kid, how much fun I had spending the night at my aunt's and uncle's houses, and how important they were to me, my development, and all of my beautiful memories. I had a lot of aunts and uncles, and the kids don't have that many. So I have a lot of special memories I need to create for them.
I'll work on one tomorrow night. Oh, and I'll take lots of pictures.
