Christmas Party

We were invited to a no-kid Christmas party this year. After much thought about who to ask to watch our children, we finally asked a 16 year old friend. This was a big step, for me anyway. We rarely leave our kids and this is the first time we've done so with someone so young. We were right up the road and I planned to come home and put them to bed, so I figured two hours wouldn't be too much with two children. Little did I know that my daughter would scream for the full two hours!!! :/ She was about 6 1/2 months at the time and already experiencing separation anxiety! Yikes! She continues to be a mommy's girl!

Sam did a great job, juggling a screaming baby and still making it fun for Caedmon! She probably read half of our book collection!:)

And we had a great time - should get out by ourselves more often!:)

Babysitting

I've been babysitting for some friends whose regular daycare person had to get her greenhouse business going for the spring/summer. It's been challenging as the ages of their children are almost 3 and almost 1 and Caedmon is 20 months. Caedmon and their little girl have a tough time sharing, so I feel like a referee a lot of the time. But they have some sweet moments and I was able to capture a couple of those.

Playmate!

I babysat for some friends for a few hours and it was great to have a little friend Caedmon could play with! They did really well together and we had a good time!
