OT - Kids...EVERYWHERE!!!

As much as I love my divas, I am not what you would call “a kid person." I like my kids. I even like SOME of the kids who hang out with my kids. But my house is never going to be the house full of other people’s children.

 

Except for this weekend.

 

I agreed to take the divas cousins (on their father’s side) for the weekend. They are 3, 4 and two months old. LAWD!!! I don’t know nothin’ ‘bout entertainin’ no babies! Hell, I don’t even remember how I entertained the divas when THEY were babies. I think I was just so in love with my little reflections that it all came naturally.

 

But I think this is gonna be good (or at least that’s what I’ll tell myself). Me and the girls have gotten into this rhythm and I don’t know if I like it. The older they get, the more separate their lives get from mine. That’s natural. But honestly, we’re all good if we have about an hour, maybe two, of “together time" and then do our own thing for the rest of the day.

So maybe this will induce some quality time. I dunno. Just DO know that if you don’t hear from me on Monday…send the ambulance, k?

My daughters are 12 and 14 and they believe that my house is the place to be from them and their friends...I always tell them I am not the source of their entertainment...And when their little cousin who is 3 comes over, I tell them that they better entertain her...My niece and my oldest daughter stick togther like glue...But three kids that young I wish you the best of luck and I will keep 911 on speed dial...

girl you are going to be POOPED come Monday.  Hopefully everyone will help out and survive.

 Just take a deep breath and enjoy every minute of it. My babies are all grown and gone. I do get the joy of having my grand daughter next weekend she will be 1 on Feb 22. I'm so looking forward to that. 

Hopefully, the baby will come with equipment -- swing, bouncer, something that keeps her happy.  Otherwise, you could be doing a lot of pacing or rocking. 

I love 3 & 4 year olds -- a cooking project would be fun! 

Try to have a good time -- hope you get some sleep!

lol. sorry, I'm giggling over here. I run a day care center and currently have 50 kids here. It IS exhausting though!!

I find that a lot of the kids here love to entertain the babies, hopefully that works well for you too!

I'll be sure to post a ton of baby pics to FB for ya!

Hey Nik Yupp that is going to be ruff! I am the same way I love kids, but I am just not a kid person! My 2 children the 12yr old, and my son who is 18yrs old, always did have a friend  or a relative  at my house and I was cool with it because it keeps them occupied! Now the 18yr old does his own thing, and I just got the 12yrold home who has ompany over evry now and then! Good for me and the husband, we r counting down until we can get the 12yr old out of the house! lmao!

Nikki - I am not far from you at all (Pasadena).  I also have several rolls of duct tape that I can bring over very quickly.

Good luck.
