Aaron Watch: Days Five and Six

Aaron is no longer under my care after tonight.  That’s all I can say.

Also, in hindsight, I wish my fiancee could have seen how much of a trooper I have been.  Too bad she had to travel for work.

“Aaron”

Starting Sunday, I have to start babysitting my neighbor’s kid “Aaron” (I do not think I should use his actual name).  Aaron’s mother is going on a sort of vacation/retreat with a church group.  Thus, her son will stay home and I’ll keep an eye on him for the week.  I have a few duties as his babysitter:

• Drop him off to day camp on my way to work
• Pick him up after work
• No TV (his mother is a very strict parent)
• 9:00 is bedtime

He’s only eleven years old, and he knows how to cook his own dinner.  I’m quite impressed with him; he seems like a smart and, more importantly, a calm kid.
