Babysitting with Twins

We got the call and we responded.  Callum was sick.  Our immediate response was leave Lily home as well.  They are so much fun now to watch as they play together.  If Callum has something, Lily wants it.  He began looking for his shovel so Lily ran and got it first.  Then he cried as he tried to take it away from her.  That didn't work and she just watched him and hung on tightly.  So then he got another shovel and tried a trade.  She wasn't buying that.  He pretended to lose interest by grabbing a ball and throwing it to Grandpa.  That looked like so much fun Lily couldn't resist.  She dropped the shovel and ran to grab the ball.  Callum quickly dropped that game, grabbed his shovel and began the process of transferring dirt from one point in the yard to a little toy sink.

Later when we gave Lily a cracker, she stood there wanting one for Callum and took it to him.  Callum had fun wearing his sunglasses while Lily tried on her Mom's new hat.
