I was able to spend the entire day with CJ yesterday, as I was on leave from work. I soon learned that babysitting a hyperactive toddler can be a totally harrowing and exhausting experience!
We watched cartoons together and we played “mess-up-your-room-with-your-toys-and-let-dad-do-the-cleanup”!
And it was also fun seeing him finally being able to interact over the phone, like when Conne called up to check on us. He was really eager to pick up the phone and yak it up with his mom. 🙂
The only time I was able to get a temporary respite, and some telecommute work done, was when he had his midday nap. You can tell that these are signs that he’s soon reaching the so-called “Terrible Twos” stage of childhood.
All in all, the aggravation was worth it though, no matter how wasted I may be. 🙂
