Yesterday Nathan had his own real-life sitter for the first time, EVER! Chelsea came over at about 6:30 last night to re-aquaint herself with N8. Chelsea is the cousin of my very dear friend, Jen, and she’s known Nathan for a while. Actually, they met at Heidi’s baby shower which seems like eons ago! (Dang, time flies!)

After giving Chels the rundown of the house, activities, approved snacks, etc. i headed out for Rosary Group over at Erin’s. I have to admit all throughout praying the Rosary, my mind would sneak in a prayer intention for n8 and his babysitting adventure. I SO hoped he wasn’t tearing the house to pieces or driving Chels so mad that she’d never come back!

I was gone for a couple of hours and when i returned, they were playing with all sorts of toys and, according to Chels, everything had gone extremely well. They had played, fingerpainted, and even had a snack. Nathan kept running around saying, “hey, Miss Chelsea…..” it was so cute!

I was relieved. I am so glad we’ve found a great sitter we can call on that i totally feel comfortable with. More importantly, it’s n8 that feels comfortable with her too!
