Change

This week I have started babysitting (nannying, whatever) for a friend of mine's 2 kids-Braeden who is one month older than Caleb and Aubrey who is 3. Plus Caleb of course!! Her babysitter had to quit on them and she was in a bind...she didn't want to stick her kids in daycare...we need more money coming in as we're saving for a down payment on a house...I don't want to work full time and pay someone else to watch Caleb...so win/win! Now, watching 3 kids is a CHALLENGE. Wow. It's like having twins and a 3 year old really...so far this week I've been trying to figure out how to do nap times, feeding times, etc. while making sure I give her 3 year old plenty of attention as well. The first day was pretty good, the 2nd day was HARD, and today was a million percent better. I am definitely dog tired at the end of the day, but am so happy to be helping her out and making some money in the process. They have a great playset with baby swings in the backyard which has been fun, and lots of toys to play with. At first I was feeling guilty about dividing my time between all 3 of them, since Caleb has had my undivided attention since day 1. But I realize that he will be fine and it will help him for in the future when our family grows. I hope that things continue to go smoothly the rest of this week...I will be ready for the weekend, that's for sure!! :)
And speaking of change, Bryan graduates nursing school in about a week!! Sometimes it seems like these 2 years have flown by, other times it's felt like it's gone so slowly. He has a job lined up, yay! The nurses there already think he is wonderful and can do things better than some nurses who've been there for 10 years. All the compliments/praise embarass him, but I know he's secretly proud of himself, and I am, too! (Not so secretly!) I will be happy for him to have this stable job so we can buy a house and get settled...until he's ready to get his master's, of course! ;) Yay Bryan!!! I love you!!
