While working on bottling peaches last week, I asked Emily if she would help me by watching the babies. I made sure there were toys in the family room and thought that all Emily would need to do was to play with them. From the kitchen I could see that the babies had other games to play. They would take turns crawling to the stairs. Emily would grab one baby and take her back to the family room as she passed the other baby heading for the stairs. This happened four or five times before Emily got smart and decided to problem solve.
I watched as she took the chairs from our kitchen table and made a bit of a "holding station" for Caitlyn. After making sure that she wouldn't be able to get out, she handed her a Chips Ahoy cookie and a toy, and said, "One baby taken care of."
If anyone needs more babysitting tips, give Emily a call.
