Babysitting

The other day I had the opportunity to watch Valex and Daxsen. We had a blast. 

When his mom first left, Valex dug out some of John's shoes and gave them to me. I think it was his way of telling me we should go too. But by the time I dug out my camera, he was already on to his next adventure. He doesn't stand or sit still for very long. 

Neither does Daxsen since he learned to crawl last week. That has brought many tears to this aunt; he has been such a great cuddle baby. 

Daxsen started to get a little fussy, so I started making noises at him. In the middle of singing "booga booga booga," I looked up to notice that Valex was dancing to it. 

While sitting on the floor with Daxsen, Valex decided to sit with me too. Then he made a game of it. He would stand up and then fall back, expecting me to catch him. He thought it was great fun. 

When I blew bubbles at Daxsen, Valex blew them at me. 

There was two other times when Valex let me know we should go. He had a poopy diaper and the first diaper I could find was in the diaper bag. After changing him, I just left the diaper bag on the couch. He grabbed it and tried to drag it to the door, so I set it out of sight. Then a little while later he had another poopy diaper. Again he tried to take the bag to the door. When that didn't work, he went and got me a jacket out of the closet. He's such a smart little boy. 

I had so much fun babysitting them and can't wait to do it again. I've had with drawls this weekend because I got to see them every day last week.
