Amelia changed daytime babysitters last week. I won't go into the reasons, but we ended up at the point where we needed to find someone new - and quickly.
I found a lovely mom, Josie, that stays home with her 3 kids (2 are in school all day) and takes in 3 little boys. Amelia took to the new place fabulously. She played all day with the kids - even Josie's older girls included Amelia in playing house. And there's a doggy there! Josie had him caged up when Chris dropped her off, and Amelia crawled over and kept sticking her finger in the cage, the doggy would lick, and she'd laugh and laugh.
She ate well and even took a 3-hour nap on her very first day!
I felt awful that the previous situation ended as abruptly as it did, because I know that Amelia loved her sitter and the other kids there. And her previous sitter did a fabulous job with her, helping her learn new things, and helping us a new parents. But honestly, Amelia's young - it's better to have made a change now, rather than later.
So, we're happy to have found someone new, just in time, and someone that I think will do very well with her.
