My husband and I are anticipating a morning coming up when we'll have only one car. He leaves for work early, before the rest of us are awake. In the past when we've had one car, we all got up to drive him to work.
This time, I suggested we leave the 11-year-old sleeping Gameboy in charge of the sleeping crew. They would be alone for about 20 minutes, so I don't think it's worth waking everybody up.
I told Gameboy and Princess the plan, and they were surprised by the newness of the idea. I explained that everyone will be asleep, I won't be gone long, Gameboy is old enough to be in charge, and most important, we don't have any little children in the house because the youngest, Cookie, is 5.
Still a little unsure, Princess pointed out, "Yeah, but she can be really annoying."
I said we'll take that into consideration.

Super cute. Your kids crack me up :)
Cool. So do you suppose that is a good age for leaving the kids home alone for a few minutes? My 3 are approaching those ages. I remember babysitting neighbor's kids when I was 11.
