Renew My Faith

The place where my sister works has cut 3rd shift. They moved my sister to 1st shift. The time she usually watches Jacob until his dad come home from work. So for the next week until my sister gets a babysitter we will be helping her. So I will be watching my nephew from about 8:00am – 4:30pm.

The first day of battle was intense.

I was woke up with pounding steps from the living room. The mighty dragon drool-a-lot is teething. So in between fierce battling of control of items stationed around the house and the crying, the battling was intense. After a few hours of intense gimmie that and teething crying, the mighty dragon was tired and felt like taking a nap on my chest for an hour. I put him on the couch to rest but after 30 minutes on the couch he awoke with a crying roar and rolled off onto the floor. I still being the kind uncle and knight. I picked him up and held him for another 10 minute power nap.

After he awoke and wanted to stay awake I made him some lunch.

We watched one movie before he took his nap.  The Fox and the Hound and after that the Toy Story 2.

If you noticed he has a oven mitt on his hand.  This awesome power glove was key to his fight.  Thankfully I was able to counter it with cinnamon cookie snacks.

The mighty dragon drool-a-lot played for a bit before his teething started to bother him again.  It got so bad that he was crying contently.  He really wanted his mother.  He would go to a picture of her and just stand there pointing and cry.  After I had my lunch of peanut butter toast with the dragon stealing a bite or two.  He laid down reluctantly and took another nap. He only stirred every now and again. I rubbed his cheek and jaw to sooth him. It quieted him down long enough for his mother to finally pull up. He was very delighted to see his mother that he jumped into her arms from mine.

I spent the next few moments to pick up his rampage and fix myself a snack to post this battle report.  I have another week or so of this.
