This past Monday, the twins and I started
babysitting for our
Life Group (instead of adult Sunday schools, our church has small Bible
studies that meet during the week.) Their prior babysitters were college
students who were going to be too busy this semester to continue. When the
leaders found out that we had not 1 but 3 babysitters in our family, they asked
if we’d be willing to take over.
It was a tough decision for us girls. J
Of course, we said yes! Every other week the Life Group meets at church and we
keep the kids in the nursery. The other weeks the adults meet in one house
while we watch the kids at a nearby house.

For
our first night, we were at the church and had 5 kids, ages 5 and under. Only
one of the little boys cried when his Mommy left (little T in the orange shirt
above.) But he calmed down quickly once I read him a story and the other kids
did great.

About
half-way through the evening I gave the kids a snack. As you can see from this
picture, I think they took out every single toy in the room. J

Towards
the end, the kids were getting a little bit rowdy/stir crazy. So I put in a
Veggie Tales movie and cleaned up the room a bit.

Of
course, being young kids they didn’t watch the movie for too long before they
were pulling out toys again. J
But I think playing with toys is better than watching movies any day!

Overall the evening went very well and we are
very excited to be the regular babysitters from now on!

Babysitting is a lot of fun, Alexis! And I agree with you completely on little T. :-) He is such a sweet little boy.
