It's always fun to visit the grandchildren, whatever the reason--or for no reason at all. Yesterday I headed out for a short visit, but this time also an opportunity to give Erin & Jeff a chance to get away for a couple of hours (first time since Kayla's birth, I think). All went along fairly smoothly; Kayla (above) played happily on the floor. Of course, 5 minutes later she discovered her parents weren't there, and it was, uh oh, just ME! Not so happy with that arrangement, but she was pretty brave nonetheless. Every time she looked at me, her lower lip would pooch out, and I had to turn her away from me. But I just kept moving and held her facing away from me, watching her brothers, and we did fine. 
I call Tyler and Jaden Techno-Kids, because it amazes me what they can do with electronics and technology. Tyler loves this Star Wars game on the Wii. I always remember one time I was showing Tyler something on the computer when he was little, maybe two and a half; he put his little hand on the mouse and said, "No, Nam, you have to right click--like this!" Huh?! Are you kidding me?!!!
Jaden was busy on the computer, harvesting crops in the Country Life game on Facebook. He had lots of ideas about how to do it better, what to harvest and what to plant, and what would be a good idea to sell. He is a very competent farmer--computer Facebook farmer at least.
Kayla was the happiest of all when Mommy and Daddy came home! I know any day now she's going to recognize me from one visit to the next and realize I'm one of the good guys too, but for now I think the backwards hold and short babysitting stints are best.
