(This picture doesn't really have anything to do with the post other than I was excited to have a couple hours of free time with no pots and pans on the ground. Ha ha)Last night the young women of our ward offered free baby-sitting from 6-8pm at the church during their normal mutual activity. During the day yesterday, I kept thinking to myself, "I don't think I'll take McKay over there. Kimball will be at scouts and I don't really have anything I have to do." Then one of the YW came over to remind me, and I think I sensed a pleading in her voice to let her play with McKay that night, so I reconsidered, and I am SO glad.
Let's just say I felt a little funny driving to the church because I thought, "I'm going to be the only one bringing my kid and they're going to think that I am a crazy mom," but when I arrived, there were tons of kids already there!! (Yahoo) So I got to spend a couple hours alone at my house while the girls googly eyed over McKay. When I picked him up, they said, "he was the only baby that didn't cry. He is soooo good!" Sweet. Good ending to a great two hours alone.
That is so nice....sometimes you just need a break. Ben thinks I am crazy to have Justin in a preschool.....1 1/2 break for me:-)-Steph
ReplyDeleteI also took advantage of the free babysitting. I knew Mataya would cry for a little bit but I knew McKoy would be there with her and she would have fun after awhile. When I picked them up Mataya was playing and having fun. When we got home McKoy told me she was terrible and cried forever after I left. I felt so bad for the girls and leaders dealing with my crying kid. McKay needs to teach Mataya some manners!
