Adventures in Babysitting

Pete had a special guest babysitter last night – Uncle Shay-Kay. Pete loves Shay.  Even when he was a newborn, he’d hear Shay’s voice and would stare, fascinated by his Irish brogue.  Pete gets so excited when he sees Shay and usually makes a beeline right for him.  They get to hang out pretty often, but last night was the first time it was just the two of them.  I knew Seamus was perfectly fine to babysit, but wasn’t keen on changing a poopy diaper.  So, I reassured him that he was probably off the hook because Pete had already pooped.

Pete was pretty excited to have Shay all to himself; they played and had dinner but when it came time for bed, Pete didn’t want to go to sleep.  He was just too excited.  Shay decided to take video because it was pretty cute.  He also captured this:

I love this video for so many reasons: Pete is so excited and his dancing cracks me up; he says “Shay-Kay” which is just adorable and of course, his unmistakeable poop grunt – he is such a boy.  I’m not sure what Shay’s reaction was when he saw what was going on, but he handled it like a pro and Pete was clean as a whistle when he woke up this morning.  Pete’s a lucky little guy to have an uncle that loves him so much … we can’t thank Shay enough for babysitting the little man.  And now that we know he’s an expert diaper changer, we’ll be calling on him more often!
