Galaxyland with the Toddlers

  2005-02-25


After flying back last night and arriving at Lister around midnight, I wound up hitting the sack at 2 AM or so after trying to get a little bit of work done. I woke up this morning at 8 or so and trekked off to West Ed to meet with my uncle for some wild times with his family. Spending the day with them, for me at least, is exhausting. My cousins are a blast to play with them during the day, but I love that I can hand them off whenever there is a dirty diaper or a scuffed knee. Actually, in all honesty, I thought the little rascals were pretty good today Winking smiley I came up with the idea of a full body bib today after watching Colin eat. I think its just not practical to expect that a piece of cloth over the torso could do the job. I can see why aunt packs a change of clothes whenever she takes the munchkins out. Andrea broke her sippy cup and had to be completely changed midway through the day. I don't think that is out of the ordinary either. I had one of the scariest moments ever today, when one of the people working at WestEd assumed that I was Colin's Dad... Even more scary? The guy was probably justified in assuming that. I am eighteen years Colin's senior, and my uncle looks more like his grandpa, due to the beard growing contest at his church. Don't get me wrong, I love the little guy, but I am not even close to ready to have kids. Anyway, they are leaving tomorrow morning, and I am supposed to meet them at 8 AM, so I am off to bed.
