It's probably too much. He's likely to get overwhelmed halfway through.

A friend growing up had a fun tradition when the kids were little. They would open one present a day each day from Christmas to epiphany a la the 12 days of Christmas.

How can I make the baby I babysit less afraid?

best toddler boy toys 2010 image

Summer

im a baby-sitter and baby-sit a 20 month old boy. His mom works from home and is usually out of sight. At the beginning of each day I walk in and the baby is very happy to see me and is laughing and smiling. However when his mom goes into her office for work, he gets super emotional and cries when either the brother or I try to play with him. At first he acts really afraid of me, but after a quick drink of water and a few toys he brightens up and sits in my lap to play and watch TV. I am beginning to think that he doesn't remember me and each day I'm someone new. How do I get this to stop? Also, how do I get the seperation anxiety to stop? I pick him up and talk calm, and he usually is Ok untill he is let back down. i try distracting him but it only works for a minute or two. He obviously doesn't understand "Mommy is coming soon" or "Mommy is working." He loves the playroom upstairs and I try to keep him in there, but when i have to go downstairs I can't leave him alone (problems start cause the mom's office is downstairs). he sometimes doesn't stop when she comes out. I don't think hes running from me but i would love tips on how to distract him and make him see that if he behaves he can see mom. So long story short how can I make the seperation anxiety stop, the treating me like a stranger stop, and tell him that mommy will come out only if hes good?

Answer
He's too young to teach him those things. Separation anxiety is a developmental phase, not something you teach. All you can do is try to make him comfortable, offer lots of cuddles & distract him as best you can. The way mom's operate in society has changed dramatically in recent history - offices, jobs away from home, etc - this was not true at all just 100 yrs ago. So although society has changed, the wiring of babies & small children has not. That isn't their fault & we can't try to teach them to "get with the times". All we can do is help them cope the best we can with a situation they aren't wired to like.

read this - it might help you understand a bit more: http://www.drmomma.org/2010/07/mother-toddler-separation.html

Just do the best you can. The older he gets, the more he will understand & the easier this will be for him & you. Do NOT dangle seeing his mom as a carrot he gets ID he "behaves". Being upset that he is separated from mom is not a "bad behavior" it is an emotional response.
