Some of you may remember my mentioning that I was going to be away this weekend. Specifically, to a little dinky town called Petawawa ( halloween and pup-to-be content herein )
Well I'm glad it worked out for you. I never did a lot of babysitting and usually they were older kids so I didn't have to do much. We could play a game or they would watch some tv. No biggy. Babies are a foreign object to me. I have little cousins but have never had to spend much time in the babysitting department. I don't know what to do with them. I don't know how they play. I don't know what they want when they cry... it freaks me out. Sure they are cute to hold (when they get a little bigger) and I love them but eek!
So many people don't see dogs as anything but an animal but they have personalities and quirks very much like a child. Cat too. So I think with the differences she'll start thinking more about Praline rather than Mica. Still that slip to call them the old name is always there. I've called my cat Jordasche (my old dog). I'm 30 and my dog died when I was 14. So it is always there.
Cool. I've only read one other book that was in a letter format. I can't remember what it was even but it was interesting though not great. So something that works will be nice.
I worked at a camp two summers and I always felt more comfortable with the younger kids, mainly because they didn't talk back and it's easier to drag them into a game :) But I did help teach ballet class a few years ago for a while so I'm at least good at disciplining the older kids. I help out sometimes at judo, too. But yeah, babies... it's like you don't want to break them haha. But honestly if they're not fussy it's usually pretty easy to figure out what they want. Diaper, food, warmth (and/or play)... the basics!
Hehe I actually called her Brownie yesterday when I was trying to scold her at one point. Let's just say she looks more like a Brownie than my sister's dog! (an orange/white jack russell) lol

*lol* I called my Sydney, Phoebe. Phoebe died this past summer and was her sister. It is like my mother always calling me my Aunt's name.
Cool! I can't wait for mine to arrive.
