I'll admit it - I've been a little babysitter hesitant.
It's not that I don't trust other people with Cash, it's just I don't trust other people with Cash.
I'm kidding (kind of).
We've only ever left cub with MorMor & Gigi and their monthly visits usually allow Buttin and me to have one night out together every month. That's been good for us. Buttin and I actually enjoy nights at home together, on the couch with some sushi take out.
Well, tomorrow night is going to be our first night with a babysitter. Buttin will be at Fantastic Fest and I'll be going to see a movie with Liz & Jonathan (so our first night with a sitter and we won't even be together - go figure). I thought just going out for a movie would make for a good first try with a babysitter - that way, if anything happens I'm not very far away and going to see a movie is not really a major event.
Cash's first babysitter is a very nice woman, Lauren. Liz & I met Lauren when we volunteered for the The First Tee last year. She is very sweet and has a ton of experience with children. Hopefully, Cash will be asleep the entire time and she'll just spend time with our animals.
Wish me (and her) luck!
Now here is one happy baby:

Baby Care Top Ten List
ReplyDeleteBy: Someone
10. If the baby cries, shake it until it stops making noise. Alternatively, you can mix 1 part bourbon with 2 parts milk and put it in the baby's bottle and give it to the baby. Or, in case of emergency, just drink the bourbon yourself (without milk).
9. If the baby smiles, smile back at it but don't let it trick you into giving it money. Little punks will try anything to get a buck from you and it only gets worse as they get older.
8. If the baby is naked, put clothes on it unless it is in the bathtub.
7. Don't let the baby eat garbage (ever).
6. If you need to rob a convenience store you should wait until the baby is with a babysitter to do so. Don't leave your baby in the getaway car.
5. Don't smoke crack around the baby. Go out in the yard if you need a fix.
4. Don't leave lighted cigarettes within reach of the baby. Unless you are smoking them at the time and then it's OK.
3. If the baby is hungry (not sure how you determine this) feed it. They really love corn on the cob.
2. Babies love rock concerts. Take your baby to as many as you can afford.
1. If the baby poops its pants, change his/her diaper.
**If you follow all of these rules your baby will grow up to be a semi-responsible adult and probably won't go to prison. Therapy may or may not be necessary. This top ten list comes with no guarantees and Social Services may or may not visit your house.
If you find out who wrote this list don't call and ask any follow-up questions and also don't call the police...I already moved out of the country (no forwarding address available).
