    Forgot a Detail, eh? Babysitting Adventures.

    ((I hope this is in the right place!))

    I recently (as in, today!) started a babysitting job. Guns blazing, I went in, expecting the worst a two year old child could do. Her mum, a long time friend of mine, explained everything about nap time, feeding, playing, etc.

    This child was amazing. She was cute, quiet, and loves cheese. She even goes, I kid you not, "nomnomnom".

    About 10:30 rolls around and I put her down for a nap. The grandmother (another person I've known forever) came home and was getting ready to take me back home. Picks up her granddaughter from the crib, she does. She came out laughing.

    "Kymmy, when you put her down, you need to put a pair of shorts on her or she'll rip the diaper off and smear whatever is in there onto the crib and walls."

    Thank goodness it didn't happen! But mummy forgot to tell this to me. Situation: avoided.

    Oh that's gross!

    Two-year-olds ARE (in)famously creative in this department though.
    Train up a child in the way he should go, and when he is old he will not depart from it.

      That definitely falls under "stuff the sitter NEEDS to know "

      Then again, if Grandma was laughing, I can only assume that it didn't happen..this time...dun dun DUUUUUNN...

        Today, the little kid somehow squirmed out her pants. I caught her just in bloody time before she got the diaper off. Oh the smell was bad. o.O;

        I've changed a poopy diaper... twice in my life and this was the third. It was...horrifying.

          My son fingerpainted his crib that way when he was a bit younger than that. I spent 3 hours alternating cleaning it off and puking. I'm not sure if it was better or worse that I had to be at work soon after discovering it, so it was dried on by the time I was able to clean it. I did manage to clean the kid right away, though

          At least if the kid likes cheese so much, maybe the diaper contents won't be SO bad.

            remind mom to take pictures next time. They make great blackmail material when your kid hits the Terrible TEENS. And boy do you need all the blackmail material you get with some teens!

              That reminds me of my guy's family reunion last month. We were all at the lake and his two year old neice, Certayn, had on her water wings and was having a blast in the lake, buck naked!! The little scamp was skinny dipping and boy is she ever the little fish! So I was taking pics and I told Certayn's mom that I will give her copies so she can use them as blackmail when Certayn becomes a teenager. We had quite a chuckle out of that.

                  If I could find overalls, I would try this. Maybe I'll ask the mom if she has some. Monday when I go back, I'll make sure to be armed with a mask I think, haha!
