​Adventures in Babysitting

Poppi and Kate

Fun with Poppi

This is September 7 and I'm halfway through another day in the adventure in babysitting. I could have sworn that Kate gave me a grin after she farted this morning. Even infants think farts are funny. I think that is an universal human reaction. I am really glad to see a sense of humor develop in her. A sense of humor, being able to laugh at ourselves and life, is a wonderful gift. It is, after all, what makes us human. I'm going to start telling jokes to her to see just how good a sense of humor she has. Did you here the one about the two babies who crawled into a bar?
