babysitting and stuff

So for the past two weeks I've been babysitting a four year old. He's quite interesting to say the least. He's a pretty good kid, but omg 4 is WAY harder than two in the sense that he NEVER STOPS TALKING!!!!!!! I am so not looking forward to that. Today he was telling me what to do, how to do it, and why to do it. I pretty much heard this all day "Why are you driving that way?" "Go faster! You can go now" "Where are we going?" "Why are we going there?" "pass that car" "that car is going fast cause a cop is after them" "look that's where Daddy works" "See that big garbage" and that was just in the car. Imagine what it's like at home! I took them to this indoor play park today which I knew he would just love, but when we got there he started crying because he wanted to go to the park. I told him he'll love it here and that Kennedy really likes it so we have to let her play atleast. He didn't do anything for 10-15 minutes and then I asked him again "you don't want to play?" He told me "no". I told him he was being a grouch and that seemed to motivate him to play. It was pretty funny that he was pretending to not be interested in something you could tell he really wanted to do. Sometimes he will try to talk back to me, but luckily I still have my own tricks to get cooperation from him. If it wasn't for teaching I really don't think I would know how to deal with him lol. He's really a sweet boy though. Most 4 year olds I've been around get annoyed with Kennedy because she's so in your face. Luckily he seems to enjoy her most of the time. Although, he doesn't like it when she pulls his hair to wake him up lol, but I can't blame him for that! Anyways, I'm tired and we have to wake up early. Night!
