Babysitting

Over the weekend our friends Thanh and Michael needed some time to move, so we offered to help babysit their son, Van. Maddy came over to join the fun. Calvin and Maddy were both anxiously waiting for Van's arrival at the stairs.

We had to do a simultaneous 3 baby changing, so Maddy and Van had to wait their turn for their diaper changing in Calvin's crib. Looks like a party to me!

The 3 babies played fairly well together, when they weren't ignoring each other. We even caught them in a group clapping session. It seems like clapping catches on quickly - as soon as one baby starts to clap, they all want to clap.

Calvin and Van didn't play too well in the basement though. They kept fighting over the workout ball...

Eventually Van decided to play with the rocking horse instead.

Later in the afternoon all of the babies got sleepy. Fortunately for us they got tired around the same time, so we were able to put them down for their naps one at a time, and get some grown-up rest time. Maddy got to nap in the guest bedroom (sporting her awesome "I Love Wesley Crusher" onesie.

Van got to nap on the floor in our bedroom.

The lesson is that 3 babies at once is no easy task. It's good practice though if we plan on having more kids ^__^
