Tonight the girls babysat for Bella and Livia next door so that Christina could go to Back To School Night. Poor N – he wanted so badly to go babysit too. In his mind, the person who goes to the house of the people being babysat is the babysitter, regardless of age. So he insisted on going over there to babysit too, even though Bella is older than he is by 2 years. He said "I don't want to go over there to play. That's a waste. I want to babysit." According to A, he was bossing everyone around and refusing to cooperate because he was "babysitting". I went and got him when I got home so the girls had a little peace with B&L before Christina came home. Christina way overpaid them. And A is babysitting there again tomorrow night for BTS Night Part II. (M will be at soccer.)
