This is Luke's babysitter...her name is Gammy. When she babysitts Luke he never gets put down. I don't even think she goes to the bathroom when she is with him!
This weekend Dan and I are signed to go to Barnabas Training (http://www.thebarnabascenter.org/) at our church. I signed us up because Gammy (my mom) was planning on coming up on Friday night for the first session and staying through the day Saturday. Then tragedy struck...
Not really, it just turns out that my future sister-in-law, Meredith, has her first bridal shower on Saturday. So we lost our babysitter.
I have never experienced having to find a babysitter...I have always been the babysitter! It is also complicated when the baby that is being sitted (that doesn't sound quite right) is only 5 weeks old. There is childcare at the training, but not for those who have only been in this world for less than 6 months...
What to do? It might be easier if this was only for a few hours on Saturday, but this was a 8:30 to 5 job for someone! I wasn't sure if I was ready to ask anybody who wasn't family to commit to this...I actually wasn't sure if I was ready to let anybody who wasn't family watch him for so long! Not that I don't love or trust my friends! It is just a tiring job. There is a reason I get a maternity leave! (Besides recovering from giving birth to my HUGE baby)
Well, we didn't have to give up this training thankfully. Dan and I are really looking forward to going through it! We decided to make Gammy's heart sing. She is sacrificing herself (yeah right) and taking Luke back to Greenville with her. Dan and I will just drive down after our training.
What a big hassle this little munchkin is...
But he is so darn cute, isn't he?
Okay, more about this training...
Barnabas Training Basic -a weekend seminar (Friday night and Saturday) designed to provide participants with greater confidence and capacity to love and care for those around them. Includes teaching on a Biblical model of people and an interactive small group experience.
I am so stoked to get some tools to help me develop the relationships that I have and to start new ones!
I let you know how it goes!
On a side note, I type this blog like there are a billion people reading it. When, really, the only readers that I have are my husband and my momma...who else do I need! :)
