From Baby to Babysitter

Wasn't it just yesterday that I was looking high and low for a babysitter in a town where I knew no one? Looking for someone to watch Lily on the rare night that John and I might go out for the evening. Listening to Lily cry as we headed for the door and feeling so sad to leave her behind.

Little Lily

And now, I sit in my home after having dropped her off to babysit for another little two year-old girl. Lily is now the one making sure the little girl is happy while her parents are away. She is the one responsible for getting her to bed and making sure she's safe. And, I know it was just yesterday that I watched her wave her tiny little hand at me as I walked out the door.

Mommies of little ones, heed this warning: it all does go by so quickly.
