Julie the Babysitter

For some time now, David has been talking about getting daycare or a babysitter for Gabe in the afternoons.  After New Years it became apparent that the time had come.  David was not getting enough sleep, & they were perhaps not getting the most out of their time together (laying on the couch instead of playing).  So, after making a few calls we met with a woman about 10 mins away.  She has two children & has recently opened her home as a daycare instead of working 60 hours a week away from home.  She also watches an 11 month old girl & two 3 year olds on & off throughout the week.  We were very impressed with her & Gabe took to her right away.  He now goes for 3 hours in the afternoon Monday through Thursday.  He has only gone 3 days, but he seems to be adjusting well.  We will see how the next few weeks go.  (David is very happy about 7 hours of straight sleep!)
