Babysitting

I have recently started watching my next door neighbor's two young children ages 3 and 6 months. It has been an interesting experience. It has been very difficult, challenging and educational. I have learned what kind of parent I do and dont want to be. I have learned that a little bit of discipline go a long way and Danny, the 3 year old is a completely differant kid around me than his parents, he is completely obedient and alot nicer to his younger brother. Even though I will only be babysitting two days a week, I really feel like I have to plan ahead so I have ideas and plans for activities so that he is entertained without the nintendo or t.v. He is used to playing wii or watching t.v. about 8-10 hours a day, and I am trying to break him of the habit. I think it will be a good experience for me so that I can do better with my own children.
