Tonight we had a new babysitter come and watch the girls. She is an older dancer at the girls' studio, and one of their favorite people. Up until now when we have had teenagers watch the girls they have tended to be juniors and seniors in high school, and two of them come and babysit together. I haven't done this on purpose, but it seems to work out nicely. Tonight was just Macy, who is only 14 and was taking on all three girls by herself. I didn't think anything would go badly, but was a little nervous that my girls would overwhelm their sitter with their energy and enthusiasm (to put it mildly).
Macy proved to be more than up to the challenge. She came over with a bag full of goodies and was more than ready to play. I received a text just after 8pm that Molly was in bed asleep, and when we came home we found a massive amount of glow sticks connected and formed into shapes on the floor. Apparently Ava and Jocie had gotten to create with them while Molly was being put to bed. Ben and I had a great time going out, and it was the icing on the cake to come home to sleeping and happy children. We have found ourselves another great babysitter, and I can't wait to have a reason to use her again.
