Okay, so I'm going to babysit my good friends' 2-year-old daughter for six hours on Wednesday. Any advice would be appreciated.

They're taking their other daughter to Shriners Hospital for an annual series of checkups and other work, and I'm going to watch over the 2-year-old. I have children's books, crayons, episodes of Dora the Explorer downloaded to my laptop, plenty of snacks set aside, and a copy of The Hobbit to read to her.
But my big question is, should I spike her apple juice with vodka or rum when I completely freak out and just have to put her down for a nap?

For putting to sleep, parents may have a routine to share. For playing, bells, xylophones, things that make a noise you can both play.

I know THE BEST activity for kids in the summertime, but I don't know if you can find a way to do it indoors.
