Adventures in Babysitting

Kameron has hit the age at which, when he wants you to do something, he grabs you by the finger and leads you wherever he wishes you to go. He did this a few times yesterday whilst I was babysitting: When he wanted me to sit beside him on the step just outside the patio door, when he wanted something out of the pantry (mostly cookies), when he wanted me to come up the stairs and into his bedroom, where we played “Pile the Stuffed Animals on Di,” an activity that included Kam walking back and forth to his toy box to bring stuffed animals, one at a time (until later in the 3rd Round of this game, by which time he was carrying 2 or 3 animals at once), and set 7 or 8 on me and then put his arms up and started jumping up and down a little bit, so I’d lift him up there amongst the menagerie.

Sometimes, though, instead of grabbing your finger, he grabs ’hold of your shorts.



We had a very good day together.

Finally managed to spend my Amazon gift certificate from Tee-Hee, which means I am now the very happy owner of 69 Love Songs by the Magnetic Fields and Devils & Dust by Bruce Springsteen. Which means I have now listened to “All My Little Words” 5 times (in only 2 trips across town) and will probably listen to it at least 100 times this week; yes, I love it that much.

Have not yet opened D&D, and I have not read/heard anything about this album, so I have no expectations other than it is by Bruce, so I am certain to love it ... or at the very least, portions of it. I certainly loved The Rising.
