I have a friend whose son is 8 years old. He called me one day and 
asked if I could watch his son this Saturday from 7 a.m. to Sunday at 
9:00 p.m., I said sure, no problem. It's Saturday morning and it's real 
early I had to wake up at 5:00 because he lives about an hour from my 
house. So I get there and my friend is getting ready to leave and his 
son is still asleep. He tells me thanks for doing this and I said no 
problem. So I go into his son's room-- and by the way, his son is 8 
years old and is not potty trained and still wants to be like a baby.

So I go into his room and see him in his crib still sleeping. So I wake 
him up and he looks at me and hugs me because he loves it when I watch 
him and me; we get along great. I pick him up and take him out of his 
crib and take him downstairs and put him in his high chair, although 
he's still in his diaper from that night and his sleeper. I ask what he 
wants for breakfast and he says he wants cereal so I pour him a bowl 
and he eats. While he was eating I made him his bottle of formula and 
when he was finished I get him out of his high chair and we go sit on 
the couch and put him on my lap and feed him his bottle and then after 
he finishes his bottle I pick him up and smell the back of his diaper 
and he was poopy and wet. I get the changing mat out and set him in his 
playpen and go upstairs and get his clothes, diaper, baby powder and 
wipes. I come back downstairs and get him out of his playpen and lay 
him down on the changing mat and hand him his pacifier. I unzip the 
sleeper and now he only has his diaper on and unsnap the tapes. He was 
stinky and wet. I grab the wipes and grab his ankles and wipe his butt 
and powder him and grab a diaper and unfold it and grab his ankles and 
lift them in the air and put the diaper underneath his butt, put his 
feet down and tape up the diaper. Then I grab his onsie and put it on 
him and grab his sweatpants and shirt and put it on him.

Then I hear the phone ring and his neighbor from down the street and 
she needed someone to watch her 2 sons who are 1 and 2. I said, "How 
long?" and she said until tomorrow afternoon and I said okay. So she 
brings her two sons over and gives me the bag of clothes and the diaper 
bag. Not even 5 minutes they been there they both need their diapers 
changed so I grabbed the 1 year old first and went upstairs and put him 
on the changing table and changed him and then I grabbed the 2 year old 
and put him on the changing table and took off his pants and shirt and 
untaped the diaper and he was poopy and grabbed the wipes and wiped him 
up and powdered him and grabbed a diaper from their diaper bag and 
unfolded it. I grabbed his ankles and lifted them in the air and put 
the diaper underneath his butt and taped it all up and then he cries 
and grabbed his pacifier and put it in his mouth and put his clothes 
back on.

Then Jacob, the 8-year-old, asked if he can have a friend over and I 
said fine. His friend came over and wanted to be like Jacob and so I 
agreed and picked him up and put him on the changing table and took off 
his clothes and underwear and grabbed a diaper and put it on him and 
gave him a pacifier to suck on. Now its after 12:00 and I am already 
exhausted and put them all down for a nap. I relax and then Jacob and 
his friend cry and I went upstairs and took them downstairs to play and 
put them both in the playpen and about an hour later the other 2 kids 
wake up and so I decided to go out for lunch. I grab the diaper bags 
and get their car seats and put them all in the car in which it is a 
very big car and I put Jacob in his car seat and his friend in the 
extra one and the other 2 in their car seats.

We didn't go very far and Jacob and his friend said they need their 
diapers changed, so I find a gas station and pull into it and go around 
and grab Jacob's friend out of his car seat and lay him down in the 
back of the car. I take his clothes off and changed his diaper and then 
I did the same with Jacob. We get back on the road and go to the mall. 
I get out the stroller which is built for 4 kids and put them in it and 
then I see my 2 good friends and start talking to them and Jacob 
notices them and gives them a hug. They ask how long I am watching him 
and I say until Sunday night and the other 2 until Sunday afternoon. I 
asked them if they would be nice enough to help me because all four of 
them are not even potty trained and needing help with changing diapers, 
feeding them and bathing them. They agreed and said that they would 
call their parents and let them know. So before we leave my friend 
picks up Jacob to see if he needs his diaper changed and he does and my 
other friend picks up Jacob's friend and see if he need his diaper 
changed and he does also. Then I check the other two and only one of 
them needs to be changed.

So we head towards the restroom and I pick up the 2 year old and my 
friends help out with Jacob and his friend and take them into the 
restroom and changed their diapers. We head to the car and put them in 
their car seats and while I was taking out the 1 year old he needed his 
diaper changed so I change him and put him back in his car seat. My 
friends follow me back and it is 4:00 in the afternoon and we decide to 
watch TV and play with the 4 kids and its 5:00 and I warm up 3 bottles 
of formula and a bottle of milk for the 2 year old. I give them their 
bottles and after they finished I asked if you want help with dinner; 
they said sure.

I got out the baby food for the one year old and made some mac and 
cheese for the others. We give them dinner and tell them it's time for 
their baths, so my friend grabs the 2 year old and my other friend 
picks up the one year old and I pick up Jacob and his friend. We take 
them in to the bathroom and I take Jacob and his friend into one 
bathroom and my friends take them into the other. I undress Jacob first 
untape his diaper and put him in the tub and do the same to his friend. 
I left and help my friends and came back and clean them both up and let 
them play for about 10 minutes. I tell them time to get out and I get 
Jacob out and dry him and do the same to his friend.

I pick them up and take them into Jacobs's room and put Jacob on the 
changing table and give him his pacifier and get his diaper out and his 
pajamas. I unfold the diaper and grab his ankles and lift them in the 
air and put the diaper underneath him and tape the diaper up and put on 
his pajama bottoms and pajama shirt. I do the same process to his 
friend and then my friends come in with the other two and do the same 
process. It's 7:00 and we go downstairs and watch a movie and the 4 
kids fall asleep. It's now 9:00 and I pick Jacob and his friend up and 
take them into his room and put Jacob in his crib and his friend in the 
extra crib. Go back downstairs and get the other two and put them in 
the guest room with two more cribs. I go back downstairs and we finish 
watching the movie.

Finally Sunday morning comes and I wake them up and change who ever 
needs to be changed and the day went by quick and my friend comes and 
home and asked any problems and I said no. My friend pays my $100 for 
watching his son plus the $150 the other neighbor gives me and my 
friend asked me if I can do that again but he needs me for 2 weeks 
because he will be out of town on business and I asked Jacob if he 
didn't mind, he said I can't wait. It's the beginning of the summer and 
Jacob is not in school.
