We had a new babysitter come over tonight. Our old babysitter got married. I’m not sure the new one will ever come back. As I mentioned to her as I was shoving money in her hand that “They had their A game on for her tonight.” Boyz jumping off furniture, jumping on beds, fighting over Christmas ornaments to the point of tears, Griffin riding on Carter’s back like a horse one minute and then slamming Carter in the back with the talking Woody doll another minute were some of the highlights of her initiation. And that was all while we were still home! She told me after we left that Fletcher woke up so all the boyz came running down to his room to try everything to help put him back to sleep – turning on music, his mobile, even the light up turtle. She said, ‘They were very helpful!” (yeah, right!) She said they really didn’t want to go to bed so she read them a bunch of stories and that eventually Griffin fell asleep on the floor so she put him in bed. (only later did I realize that meant in BED not his CRIB!) We’ll see how that plays out in the morning. And just when the poor girl finally got to sit on the couch, watch TV, text her friends and earn her money then Carter woke up in a daze and must have been sleep walking through the kitchen screaming because he couldn’t find us. She called me as we were driving home because he was so upset he wanted to talk to me. A game alright. I can’t imagine why she would ever want to come back!
