I babysat again to the hyperish kid. Fun stuff. We played the most interesting game of Battleship I've ever played. Then I tried to calm him down when his computer froze and he was convinced the computer thought he was a jerk. After that we played dress up. I was a pirate wearing a shawl. He was a knight/another pirate.

I've just begun to realized how much influence I have over this kid, though. God rarely gives me positions of responsibilty like that. Its a neat growing experience. I have to learn to be tough about drawing limits, I've found out. Its hard because I don't want to be seen as a tyrant, but I don't want to be a wishy-washy person. I also want to avoid doing some of the things some of my past teachers and such did that I don't think were very good guidence things.

His dad told me today that I was a good sport. That's reassuring.

I also need to stop thinking about myself all the time.

Nick was right... I need to smile more.

Make sure you give something good to influence him with. Other than that I think you'll be awesome.
