Baby sitting

I went over to my friend's place to babysit my god-daughter EH this morning. I don't see her often enough, yet she enjoys my company. How she's grown! She's at the age where she wants to do everything herself, like getting her own water, washing the cup, throwing away trash... you know, every single thing.

She has been brought up to be very independent and is not whiny or spoilt at all, indeed a joy to be with. I like her alot and had a wonderful morning keeping her company.

She was still in her pajamas, drinking milk from the bottle when I arrived.

When she was done with her feed, it was Rusty's turn. Here she is, grabbing a handful of dry food from Schee's stash.

How she adores Rusty! She handfed Rusty one pellet at a time.

While feeding Rusty...

Schee sat watching. He gets along really well with Rusty like good friends. Rusty was soon drinking from his water bowl and sleeping in his bed. Schee didn't mind it one bit.

While showering EH, she insisted on dispensing her own body soap and scrubbing herself. Here she is, nice and clean, ready to pose for the camera. Oops, I forgot to brush her hair. That cheeky girl is trying to emulate my smile here.

She loves having her photos taken and she's really smart. She was operating my digital camera in no time and spent the entire morning admiring her own photos.

While I sat reading the papers from cover to cover, I encouraged her to do the same.

We didn't just read the papers, we played hide and seek behind the curtains too.
