Sprinklers & Sunshine

Finally, here's the rest of my summer!  2 months of being Auntie Berta/nanny for my niece and nephew :D




Here's some quotes from the niece...

S:  Auntie Berta, how come you like spicy things so much?
Me:  I don't know.  That's just how God made me.
S:  Oh.  He made you really hungry!
***************
S: I prayed for you and Mommy and I prayed for everyone.  Everyone who has booboos and who has tummy ache.
***************
On our way to school:
S:  My pretend watch says we're going to be late!  Oh dear, I hope all my friends are doing ok without me!!!


It took 3 days to coax her into wearing these heart pocket jeans.  She insisted on keeping her "little one" (stuffed animal) in the back pocket all day = too cute!
And nannying lesson #34:  If you give the toddler a yogurt covered pretzel in the car, 
this is what he'll do with it....
