I am clearly NOT a mother!

Last Night I had the privilege of babysitting two absolutely adorable kiddies with Andrew :)

Sophia (8 years) and Ben (3 years) are Andrew's cousin's kids.

Still not sure how the family thing works (second cousins?).

They are totally sweet and playful and SUPER well behaved. It was a very new experience for me as this was my first time babysitting but I guess I kinda enjoyed it.  

  

Sophia has the intelligence of a 20 year old and for bedtime SHE read stories to ME (Note Picture) !!!

Andrew and I also had quite a surprise when we discovered that Ben had to wear a nappy to bed and we both had absolutely no idea how to put one on!!!!

We ended up putting it on backwards! and without Sophia being "miss smarty-pants" and telling us we had it all wrong, we probably would have been none the wiser :) and I forgot that they had to brush their teeth before bed and wee and all those little preperation things that kids need to do. SIGH! I CLEARLY AM NOT A MOTHER!

So after our little dumb moments, we had to resort to singing songs to Ben in order for him to fall asleep, and then I patted Sophia's head as we put her to bed. Yeah, I know. I PATTED HER HEAD! How awkward!!! She was probably thinking in her 20 year old brain "WTFreak lady?!"  

Siiiiiiigh Life. Hopefully next time (if there is such a thing) I'll kick ass at all that motherly stuff.

pat pat pat ;) and goodbye xxx
