Never Assume Anything

Yesterday was an interesting day.

I watched the 2 boys I babysit until about 1. I hadn't taken a shower before they came over so I had to take one when they left and before sorority. So, I layed McClain down and set Koleton on the chair with a movie. I thought all was good. McClain was making NO sounds so I ASSUMED he was asleep. Koleton was totally zoned out in front of the movie and I ASSUMED he would fall asleep.

Well, about half way through my shower Koleton comes running in, "Mommy Cain fell out." Hmmm..."Cain fell out I repeat." "Yes" he says. "Cain fell out of his crib?" "Yes" he repeats. During the conversation I learn that this is true as I can hear McClain's cries getting louder and louder and then he appears in the bathroom. He appears to be fine and is no longer crying once he sees me so I continue my shower.

I guess there is no such thing as a nice, peaceful shower anymore. I'm SERIOUS!

So, I had sorority last night and it was my program. So I took the boys to our friends house (the ones that I babysit for). Koleton always has a really good time there playing with Hunter downstairs in the playroom.

Well, at about 9pm I get a call from the Dad asking me to bring back the carpet shampooer I had borrowed. I found out why they needed it back when I picked up the boys. Apparently, Koleton had found a bottle of lotion and squirted it EVERYWHERE. He also bit Maddox the 18 month old. So, he was in time out pretty much the entire time he was there. I was SO embarrassed that my kid was so NAUGHTY. It really bothered me. I felt so bad that I had left my kid at their house and he was nothing but trouble.

So I called Dan and told him what happened. I was crying while I was talking to him. He told me I need to get a handle on him. WHAT?!?!? I am home with the boys by myself all week! I've tried everything. Maybe if he was home to help out it would be different. I can't even get him to pee IN the toilet for crying out loud!

UGH!!!
