Yesterday, our babysitter, whom we adore told us that she didn't think she could continue. The girls have had a tough time lately. First the reflux, which they are now on meds for, and now they just had shots and they are teething. It's not easy. She did say she'd stick with it until we can find someone else. Luckily, she called me today and said that she's having such a tough time, cause she loves the girls so much (i mean really how could you not?) and that me and pete are great and make her feel welcome and that she does a good job, etc. She said that if we can get someone to come on wednesday so she can go home around 3:30 or 4pm that the day wouldn't be as long and she's continue. That is our goal now. I'd hate to lose her cause i really do trust her with the girls, and that is hard to find.
We are now starting some sleep training as well. That should help her too. Both girls sleep great at night and go right down, always have, but the napping is a problem. They only nap for short times and you have to hold them and walk them to sleep. Lily is much better than Mia at going to sleep on her own. You can put her down when she's sleepy and for the most part, she'll go to sleep. Mia, not so much. I just tried a modified cry it out with her. I went in every couple of minutes, patted her tummy and gave her her pacifier back. She actually fell out after about 15 minutes. Slept for about 30. Now I hear her in there talking.
Here are some pictures from easter... Lily in Blue, Mia in yellow..
