lookee lookee

This is Brendan. My momma has been babysitting him since he was one month old because his mom couldn't afford to stay on maternity leave much longer. Isn't he adorable?? Now he is a year and a half years old. he is sooo bad! and yet so smart!! i took this picture inside, hence the dark background. this is the face he makes when he wants something.
This is in the back patio. He is trying to persuade me to give him the camara...it was a good try i must say. see how his arm is inching close to grab it?

This is Brendan and me. yea, my face is cut off because my momma thought he should be the focus of attention...j/k actually, her finger moved the camara before it took the picture...hahah

So why am i posting this, you might ask? well, when i am at home, my mom hands the responsibility to me without even asking. so yep, everytime i get back from school, my momma is either cooking or doing something else. i don't really mind cuz i figure she needs a break. there is a downfall with this though...i can't do my homework because he always have this knack for trying to help me. i guess he thinks that if he turns the page of my book every second, i would read faster or that i would get a better grade on my paper if he adds his handiwork to it...hahah

The most amazing thing that i learn through this is: you can truly see the work of God in a child's life and the developement of sin from a young age. I would explain it more thoroughly but it would take up a a whole new blog.

i'd have to say that brendan is definitely a fiesty one.
the few times i've been over there, he unceasingly tried to run out of the door (on multiple ocasions at times i might add).
and he'll let anyone pick him up but at the same time shows no interest in it. haha
funny little kid.

duuuuuuude... (cute kid, btw), the first time I really saw how sinful little kids can be was when I started babysitting these two little kids. I won't say who they are, but their parents are definitely Christian. Anyway, even though they could be so sweet and absolutely adorable sometimes, there were just as many times that they were little devils. Seriously... one of them would throw temper tantrums (she was 2 yrs old) and she knew exactly what she was doing. She would wait for me to look and then she would start screaming and crying. Fortunately, that was fixed very soon as her mother told me how I was allowed to discipline. Once another tantrum started, I put her in her crib and told her she needed to stay there for 5 minutes because she wasn't listening to me and as soon as I went back in there, she was all smiles and happy to do what I asked her to do. It's amazing how honory children can be but even more amazing what a little good discipline can teach. There's more evil children stories that I have, but I'll leave it at that for ya. ;op
