This is a way of making myself write something coherent and grammatically correct almost every day. I'm opinionated and need an outlet. I'm also prone to flights of fancy. Thanks for stopping by. |
| I had an 18 month old, my nephew, and a 12 month old, my great niece, visiting at the same time. Whew! I don't see them that often. So there are no child-proof cabinet locks, and so forth. But they both love to go in the cabinets and every nook and cranny. Pots and pans come out into the floor. A box of toys gets picked up and dumped on the floor. All the magazines on the coffee table have to be be thrown as fast as possible onto the floor. And all the books have to be taken off the bookcase and put anywhere else including the wastebasket. Opening the refrigerator door is like ringing a school bell. They come running. Both want to pull things out of the door, and step onto the shelf. I had visions of opening the refrigerator and finding 2 kids crawled up onto the shelves opening jars, cold and crying. They got into the spice rack in the pantry, and I found spices all over the house. This happened while their parents were supervising them. When I know they're coming, I empty the trash cans, put away all breakables, including eyeglasses, kindles, phones, remotes, etc. I put out some children's books and some stuffed animals and prepare the bed in the guest room for diaper changing. I just can't avoid opening the refrigerator, since they all want to eat. They're cute. I like letting them explore and learn. I want them to grow up feeling comfortable at Auntie's house. They live in different cities, but have so much in common. They take a lot of work, and I only see them for such a short while. Now I remember why only young people have kids. |
