Jacqueline comfy on my lap
Actually, both of the girls were REALLY REALLY good for me. Yeah, Jacqueline wanted to be held and rocked; I needed to pick her up a few times until she finally got to sleep, but, she didn't make too much of a to-do. Sophie, what a trooper! She basically sat in her bounce chair and entertained herself until she fell asleep. And she slept. And she slept. And she slept.

In the meantime, Jacqueline woke up and and started to smile at me. She really got into it; in fact, she was almost coy about it (ok, I know babies are not coy, but, she just looked like she was flirting with me!)
Jacqueline the Flirt
Finally, Jacqueline went out. About 10 minutes before their mommy came home, Sophie woke up. She didn't really fuss but I wanted to pick her up, anyway; wanted to get to hold her some, too!
I changed her diaper (not bad but I'm sure Jon and Shannon might get a kick on how I closed the tabs; darn, diapers HAVE changed since that last baby I diapered; but, at least it stayed on her!)
Man, Auntie Mrs. B Tired Us OUT!
All in all, this was a good foray into the realm of babies for me. Now, if they'd both screamed bloody hell for the entire hour or so Shannon was gone, I might have written quite a different entry :-)

Thanks for helping out! I'm glad you had a great time. You also should be honored....you're the first to snap multiple photos of either Jacqueline or Sophie smiling. Both are known for staring blankly as soon as a camera comes out!
Oh yeah, can you send us the photos for our online album?
what a sweet story!
those are 2 laid back little girls. glad your babysitting experience went well!
yay!
Dear Autie B:

Love,
Sophie and Jacqueline
