Babysitting

I babysat my niece tonight so my sister could go to a meeting. My niece cried her eyes out because she wanted to go with Mommy. Then my sister got stuck backing out of the driveway, it is very narrow and I hate it. My niece and I were going, What is that noise? We looked out to see my sister running her tires but not moving. After 15 minutes she got unstuck with help from a neighbor, she hit the side going into the yard. And she was off.

She still refuses to poop in the toliet so my sister has switched from rewarding when she does with stickers to punishing her by not allowing any niece programs and movies until she does. After 3 days she is getting use to reading her books and playing with her toys more. She didn't eat any supper saying she wasn't hungry so about 7:00, when I needed a snack, we had some popcorn and granola bars. I thought they were more nutritional than cookies. We played kitchen with plastic food until my niece said she was full, played flashcards, Cinderella figurines (Prince Charming had trouble dancing with Cinderella due to the circle around his feet but it made niece laugh), read a Cinderella book, found the words to Disney songs on the paper from a CD, and I sang the songs for her. Oh yeah, and petted the cats. I got her in her pj's and gave her bedtime snack as requested by sister and waited for Mommy to come home. My niece kept asking when Mommy was coming. I gave my sister a good report.

Then went grocery shopping. I'm shocked there is much Valentine stuff to look at and I can't find any stickers. I made up a care package for my niece in college. I wish they made better prepackaged food for a diabetic, but then my sister commmented how when she goes on a fad diet she has to cook much more to keep the calories down. Such as life. Post later. Bye!
