Whoot Watch

Kim and I are watching the nephew and niece for a 24 hour time period whilst their mother and father attend a wedding. So far we’ve had them for just over an hour, Jordan is down for a nap and Jonny’s watching Empire Strikes Back (he’s much cooler than the average child).

So now we are three hours into our Whoot watch and Jordan is still down for her nap and Jonny has just started Return of the Jedi (how much Star Wars is too much for a 4 and ½ year old). I was outside mowing the lawn and doing other random yard work while the dog taught Jonny how to escape our home through the dog door between Star Wars movies. The good news is that I don’t think Benji is smart enough to teach Jonny how to open the gate out of the yard. Of course I suppose it’s possible that Jonny could teach Benji how to open the gate, then we’d all be in trouble.

Three hours and ten minutes into Whoot time Benji decided to prove he had a sense of irony by chewing off the foot of Jonny’s Chewbacca action figure. Jonny remarked “Chewbacca’s dead now!?!”
