Babysitting for Benjamin Anderson

This is Benjamin Anderson, age 11mo. His mom & dad wanted some time to themselves so we volunteered to come and watch Ben for about 24 hrs. Mommy & daddy left around 11a.m. on Saturday to go to San Francisco to a concert in the park, returning Sunday around 1p.m.

After they left we fixed some lunch, ate and went for an outing to the outlet mall close by. He was good for a while but then got tired. Not able to keep up with grammy but is in training to shop the malls..hahaha.
Ben had a good nap after he had his second lunch, then he was ready to play.

Looks like papa is needing the nap about now.

He loves the game of throwing something (a shoe) in front of him as he crawled along, or even throwing the shoe down to the next step and then trying to retrieve it without having to crawl down the next step. He can fly up stairs but coming down, he's still in training.

Thought I needed to get in the picture somewhere. Hard to get both parties still & smiling. It was all so much fun.


Well, looks who's home. I think mom & dad missed Ben very much. They were so happy to see him. They had a great 24 hours though. Good to take a time out, right parents??? Hope we can do this again.


Happy homecoming!!!
Thanks Jarrett & Carrie for letting us spend time with Ben. It was great!
