High Anxiety.

They'll be some of the above from my daughter when she leaves me and the Mrs to babysit her nearly adopted daughter for the first time.
How many phone calls will I get?:-)

[Tilly2]

At least four.

How old is your grand-daughter now?

I used to babysit for various people when I was in my teens, it was an easy way of getting money. I am now 53 and looking back at those days I am horrified that anyone would leave their children in our care. We had no idea what we were doing.

I will stick to my cats.

However many you get you get just be calm, reassuring and upbeat, anything otherwise and she'll be back home in a shot.

[melv16]

She's 8 months old, wolf and thriving :-)

Awww 8 months, how lovely.

[melv16]

There's a big family party coming up early next year when she gets the final adoption papers from the family court:D

[wolf63]

I hope that the adoption process is not too long for your daughter. Your grand-daughter is still a baby and I am sure that she will be a greatly loved baby too. ☺☺☺

[Tilly2]

I bet that baby's made your Christmas very special. How lovely.

[melv16]

The best Christmas ever, Tilly :-)

Some years ago my friend who was going to a wedding asked me to look after 7 children - all under the age of 8. With the running around I done that day - I lost 4 lbs.

Some of them went to the shop and were ages and ages. The house was near the shop but when I think of what I had done - I left two toddlers in their prams and run to the shop to get HOME.

One little baby had diarrhoes - it was everywhere that I dumped him in the bath. Also he got some marsh mallows in his hair so he was bathed.

Friend also asked me to have a wee party for the 7 year old. I'll never forget it. My cousin when she heard - she said Jenny looking all those kids was so unfair. They are all grew up now. But that was a pretty dangerous thing I done re the toddlers. Doesn't bear thinking about it.

Can't recall how many times I phoned home when I left my daughter with baby sitters for the first time......but my dinner went cold.....

Have fun......bet you grin all evening......☺
