Oh what big teeth you have…

Today I had the pleasure of babysitting Justin, my niece Ashley’s son. He is such a little cutie pie and made me realize how clumsy I’ve become around babies. But he was very forgiving and we had a wonderful day. The morning started with a nap…that was a good way for me to get back into the swing of things.

When he woke up it was time to eat and then get that all-important burp. After a diaper change and getting him tucked into his little jumpy seat, I did the dishes and got his Uncle Greg’s lunch ready. All that time I was telling him a story and he was such a rapt audience.

Once upon a time there was a little girl named Little Red Riding Hood…

 

Come on, Aunt Nancy, where’s this story going? Couldn’t you at least tell me a story about a guy ??

 

It’ll get better…well there was this wolf and he disguised himself as Little Red Riding Hood’s grandma and got in her bed….

Now wait a minute, Aunt Nancy. You didn’t say anything about a wolf…where’d he put grandma??

Just wait and see. Well Red wasn’t so sure about this really being her grandma especially when the wolf smiled and showed all those big, old, sharp teeth. “Oh! What big teeth you have grandma!” Red said.

 

Hey are you sure you should be telling a kid my age this story???

It’s okay…it all works out in the end. The woodcutter in the forest figures out what’s going on and he rushes in to save Red.  He throws the big, bad wolf out in the cold and he and Red live happily ever after (after they let Grandma out of the closet).

The End.

 Yipee! It all worked out great in the end…you had me scared there for a minute, Aunt Nancy. I may have to have Mom have a talk with you about what’s an appropriate story for 3 month old boys though.
