Babies!

I’ve watched a 10-month old little boy 3 times in the past week. I will have him once or twice a week through October. His babysitters from summer went back to school so the family was kind of in a bind and both sets of parents thought it would be nice for the kids to play together.

I have a whole new respect for mothers of multiples! These babies keep me on my toes. Minnow has had socialization with kids her age up to this point, and has been kind of wimpy. A kid would take a toy away from her and she would just let them. Well, not anymore! Maybe it’s because he is on “her turf’ or whatever, but Minnow is kind of a bully. She takes toys away from J and cries when he takes them back. Sharing is just not part of her lifestyle right now, but we're working on it.

She also did kind of box-out move which I was actually kind of proud of, being a former basketball player. The kids were by a window sill looking out the window and Minnow gave J a little forearm and tried to move him away. The only thing is that J didn’t really move, he out-weighs Minnow by about 7 pounds which at this size is quite a bit, Minnow tried for the box-out but wasn’t very successful. Keep trying, Minnow!
