I’m a babysitter

Today is the first day of me being a childcare provider for someone else’s child. NotMyBaby arrived this morning at 8:15 and he’ll be staying until half past noon. So far it’s working out just fine. NMB is down for a nap now and I’m having breather. The adjustment is taking a lot of energy from me. NMB is an only child and isn’t quite sure what to make of Gleek or Patches who keep shoving toys in his face in an effort to make him happy. After about an hour Patches started feeling a little insecure about all the attention that NMB was getting from me and started plunking himself in my lap. After NMB went down for a nap I made sure to snuggle Patches and read him a story.

In other news I’m pleased and flabbergasted at how successful Howards first ebay auction is going. I’m hitting myself for not learning how to sell on ebay before this. We’ll probably be doing one auction a week during the Christmas shopping season and slow down after that.
