Josie requested to see her in the other room. Josie asked her to sit down then gave it to her straight. I think Josie will make a great boss some day. She had good intuition to pull aside the babysitter and have her sit down so the plow of the firing didn't hurt too much. Josie did end this heart to heart with a big "Just Joking!"
Unfortunately for Josie, she isn't the boss right now. She often thinks she is. Maybe that's my fault. Some times I ask her to "watch" her brothers when I jump in the shower or do something crazy like unload the dish washer. She gets excited for this responsibility. Often she does well with playing the role of oldest sibling. Like last night when Will got a bloody nose from doing a nosedive over the wii drum set. As Will's nose bled she ran to get a tissue and helped him by holding the tissue on his nose... for some reason Will wasn't willing to hold his own tissue.
Other times Josie takes the "job" too seriously. I will be talking to one of the boys about their actions and she will pipe up with her two cents. I find myself then saying things like "I got this Jos" or "you worry about you". But really... I mean really I do like that she worries about her brothers. She'll always have their best interest at heart. And That's really great. Now I just need her to stop firing people and we'll be set!
*Said Babysitter is a family favorite, so I was relieved she didn't take her pink slip and run.
