We were tasked with having to babysit our nephew, Noah, this weekend. Unfortunately, both Thor, the god of thunder and Elisabeth Shue were busy and couldn't help us. Too bad too, because she made babysitting look fun. Just kidding.
On to our weekend with Noah. We had a lot of fun and Noah had a great time hanging out with us.
Our first adventure was on Friday afternoon at the Upland Lemon Festival. We started by wandering around and getting snacks and Noah was having fun looking at the booths and various crafts that were situated.
After a couple of hours at the festival, we headed home for some yummy dinner that Anna had partially prepared, which included pasta and homemade sauce. Noah fed and changed, we got him ready for bed and got him to sleep. Thus ended our first day.
The next day was a long one that offered a lot of fun, but it was definitely a long day. And for two people that are dealing with a little boy for the first time, it got us very tired. But there was a softball game, lunch, a baseball game and even visiting with Grandma. However, Noah was exhausted and fell asleep before Gma's. The second day ended with more dinner and off to bed - which got hard because of
the fireworks at Quakes stadium. Luckily Noah did not wake up.
Onto our third day....
First things first, Joanna had to sing at church, so Noah and I hung out watching Finding Nemo (which he loves) and Alice in Wonderland. When Joanna got back, we hung out and played around the house. Eventually, Noah fell asleep and actually napped for almost three hours. This was good because Joanna and I were also tired so we took a nap for about an hour.
When he woke up, Joanna and I decided to go on some errands (something that we had actually put off) and packed Noah up again. We headed to stein mart for a birthday gift and the Target, which Noah was very happy about.
Target finished, we headed home and got Noah prepared for his parents to come home. While we waited, we played and ran around the house. Nick and Anna came and Noah was actually a little hesitant when he saw them, which was a little funny but he got back to loving them naturally.
All in all, we had a great weekend with Noah and we realized that we were pretty good at taking care of a little boy. Now, in a few years, if we have a baby, then we'll be ready to roll.
It's just too bad Elisabeth Shue wasn't around.
