Well folks, I have just completed 23 hours of being a nanny. Ug, I am so tired. I get their around 7:25 in the morning and I don't get to leave until 5:35. Now that is quite a long time if I do say so myself. So for now I have had all the DoodleBops, Wiggles, Lazy Town, JoJo's Circus,Dora and Diego that I can take. Now you see I "Nanny" for 2 girls. Carissa is 5 and Erin just turned 2. Yes the terrible terrible 2's. So Carissa was sitting on the couch so Erin decided she wanted Carissa to sit on the floor. She came over and pulled her off. I asked Erin to tell Carissa she was sorry. ( You see, a sorry is a BIG deal to five year olds!) Erin being this cute little innocent looking 2 year old. Says NO!! Then I thought, Is a time out really necessary for this crime? Yes ,yes it is. So I said Erin your just going to have to go sit in the naughty chair if you cant tell her you are sorry. ( Something I happened to pick up while watching Super Nanny) So she says " Hey, No no no no naughty chair" but after asking again,she still refused to say sorry. So we went to the Naughty Chair. I have never had to put either of them their in a long time, so I could tell today was going to be a rough day. Erin cried and cried. So I when to there and said-" If you tell Carissa your sorry you can come out of the Naughty chair." Now things were looking hopefull when she said ok, but she didn't, this just to get out walk to Carissa and say nothing. So I wasn't about to give up and cave, this girl was going to learn to say she was sorry. We went back and fourth for ALMOST 2 HOURS! Yeah I am not even kidding you. When she finally did say sorry we clapped and cheered "Yay for you Erin!!" But this happened again the next day. She only had to sit their for one hour this time. Now you tell me, was this a little rough of a punishment for a 2 year old?
But on the upside Carissa did keep telling me how cool I was, and that I was the "Superest Baby-Sitter in da whole wide-est world!!!" Look out Super Nanny you might be out of a job soon!
Ok so I am going to warn you their aren't going to be any posts this week because I am going to be at summer camp!! I am going to be a Counselor at our Pre-Teen camp in Idaho. So the other teens in my YG that are going to be counselors are leaving at 6 on Monday morning because the drive is almost 6 -7 hours. I am excited because I am finally going to get to be a counselor!! The only downside is I have no clue what I am going to eat when I am their. My teeth still hurt so we are just going to see how this works out. Another reason I am so excited is I am going to be the one that the kids look up to, and say I wanna be just like her when I get older- and that's cool. I hope that I am able to set a good spiritual example for these kids and to show them what it means to be a Christian, not just how to be one. I want to show them. Jesus is awesome, and can do great things with your life, and I hope that I can convey that to their hearts and open them up to Jesus. Its going to be a great week.
Please have a good week, and pray that I can be the Best example to these kids.
I'll have some stories to share with you no doubt when I get back!.
May peace and Love guide your hearts.

Well- it sounds like you are getting great experience for when you become a mommy!!! (MUCH later in life AFTER your married, of course!!!) But- it really sounds like you handled it well. Any chance you will be in the Houston area any time soon??? I could use a good babysitter!
Have a great time at camp. You are going to be a great counselor. I absolutely LOVED my years at camp. I never wanted to come home. And I always felt so close to the Lord. Miss those summer camps. I can't wait for my boys to be old enough to go.
