We left the kids with a real, paid
babysitter for the first time! Our neighbor across the street
came VERY highly recommended, so we asked her to come over for
a few hours while Alan and I went to a meeting. The kids loved
her. Eve frequently cries when I leave and her favorite thing
to say is “coming, coming” as she follows me whenever I go.
Today I gave her a hug and handed her to Emily. She gave Emily
a hug and they went to play. When we got back the kids barely
noticed our return! For awhile after Emily left, Eve walked
around the house saying “emilly… eemmillyy…” :) Good
babysitter!!
