Baby Sitter Blues!

I took Davey to the sitters for the first and second times this week. In fact, I am writing now with him there. A wonderful lady is watching him that lives in Vernon as well. I could easily walk there...if only Davey liked his stroller more... Anyway, she is watching a few other kids and we figured that taking Davey there a little at a time will make it easier on both of us. On Tuesday I took him there at 9:30 am and came back at 12:30 pm to find him sleeping. That would be sweet...but he was sleeping because he had cried for the hour before that! :( Hopefully today will go better. He got a little nap in because woke up eariler than usual...that should put him in a better mood. I have been working hard to guilt Josh into letting me stay at home next year. This is an impossibility finacially, I know, but it is worth a shot!

Isn't that boy have the sweetesst face ever?? The picture is of Davey helping Josh match socks...he is advanced for his age! jk Of course I came out to find Josh carrying him upstairs in a full laundry basket. And just as it usually goes with fathers...I protested, but Davey loved it! He got a ton of new things because we went shopping with my parents and Aunt Janice yesterday. Now we are ready to sort blocks and play in the Exersaucer! Not to mention all the great clearence clothes for next summer. I am jeolous of all you mothers of little girls! What cute clothes you have to choose from!

In other news...of course about Davey...he went to the doctor Friday because I suspected he had thrush. I was right. Thrush is just a yeast infection in the mouth and can create a raised diaper rash and irritation when eating. It has actually cleared up a lot since last Friday and he never was really that uncomfortable with it. My sister, the child-rearing guru, told me that all 4 of her kids got thrush at about this age because they are taking the occasional bottle and getting good at putting things in their mouth.
