Real-life Update

Some of you may not have heard yet that I have procured a job. Not like a jobby-job, but someone does actually pay me to do something. I now babysit a 3-year-old a couple times of week for a few hours in the morning while her mom stays in her office working from home. Frankly, it's awesome. It's not all the time, which is nice for my current lifestyle of leisure (though I do hope to get more work soon). She pays me ten bucks an hour to play with the kid and assist her with bathroom and snacks. For two hours yesterday, we:

• played Jungle Book with action figures
• played Pet Shop, My Little Pony, and Dora the Explorer
  
• read pop-up books
• colored with Crayola Color Wonder Markers (look Ma, no mess!)
• glued pieces of paper to themselves
  
• watched the Backyardigans (one of the less-assaulting of kid's shows in which a group of kids that are animals make believe in their backyard and sing smooth, samba-inspired songs)

I can handle this gig. My charge is adorable, though sometimes a little contrary, but if anything really difficult happens, her mom is there to come out and help me solve it. It's a sweet gig. The Grizz, in nanny form. Whaddya think?
