For the past few years (and this year), the Best Boss in the World has given me time off before and after Christmas. I typically use the time before Christmas to make a few extra Christmas gifts, buy the groceries to make Christmas goodies, and squeeze in a bit of last-minute shopping. While I appreciate the time off before Christmas, the after-Christmas time off is absolutely wonderful.
Today, none of the usual pre-Christmas stuff will get done, for I have the good fortune to babysit the Little Rotten Baby while her parents do some shopping. We kept her for a little while last night while they wrapped presents. She is such a joy, rotten-ness and all. And such a FAKER! She got a little fussy toward the end of the evening, and I laid her down to change her diaper. As she was grumbling about it, I mocked her: "Wah-wah-wahhhhhh." And she grinned and went, "Wah-wah-wahhhhh." Faker.
She loves books. Last night, we read every book that had good pictures in it. This morning, in preparation for her arrival, I busted open a set of pop-up books we bought her for Christmas and chose a farm animal book. The first page has a giant rooster that pops up. We'll be cock-a-doodle-dooing today!
