When I get home from work, I generally watch Elena for a couple of hours while Karen gets some stuff done and has "me" time. She is usually fussy this time of night, so I spend lots of time rocking, jiggling, and otherwise distracting her. I have learned to multi-task while I'm watching her. Here's how it goes: 1) Jiggle baby 2) Pet dog 3) Surf the internet. 4) Repeat.
So Lance used to get me on this one all the time. You can't call it babysitting when it's your kid. Since Elena is your kid it's parenting. Just a minor clarification.
