My First Babysitter
Tonight Teri and I went to see "The Passion of the Christ" and left Kevin with a babysitter. This is the first time since he was born that neither I nor Teri put Kevin to bed and the first time he has had a non-family babysitter.
There were a few times early on when people came over so Teri could get som rest, and one time when the pastor watched him for 30 min while I made my way home and Teri had an appointment somewhere, but tonight is the first time he had a real babysitter.
One of the kids from the youth group, Bethany, agreed to watch him. While Teri went to pick her up I had a mini-anexity attack and I really didn't want to leave. I checked my phone at the theater and didn't have a signal which bothered me, but then later I found that there was a signal.
I wasn't too worried while we were gone and I was glad to see everything was not in shambles when we arrived home. Bethany had a bit of a time getting him down she said, "He went to bed a little late, it was after 8. It was nine......thirty....five or so."
In all, a nice evening. Not sure when I will be ready to leave him again, but hopfully I'll feel a little more secure.
