I got to babysit tonight. When Sophia and Avery started chasing each other in the living room, Carter came to stand in front of me and keep an eye on things.
Part of the time, Avery watched Dora and Friends on TV. Competing sounds came from Sophia’s iPad – rather dramatic classical music. I wondered what new interest she was discovering. I was prepared to be impressed. She was watching makeup being artfully applied.
The other funny moment happened when I was measuring Sophia so I could start on her Halloween costume. She assured me she already understood the need for measuring. “My mom has inched me before.”
