Change is afoot

So Scott finally got a job — not a dream job, but a solid job — in property management. He accepted the offer Wednesday and was back to work Monday. I really didn't want to put Arden back into that daycare center where she was before, but the pressure was on to find somebody new in about a day. After calling the entire list (no spots) I'm happy to report that we lucked out with a wonderful babysitter recommended by Sawyer's teacher. A former daycare center employee from Breckenridge, she's Honduran and has 11 month old twin boys that she speaks Spanish to most of the day. Arden is the only other child she watches. Her house is immaculate and she sends us these little sweet text message updates all day long. She makes her own organic baby food and swore to feed my child vegetables at snack time (ha-right!). I called her references and one parent told me she's known as the "baby whisperer" and that she's jealous I get to have her as my nanny. The other reference was her former boss who said she hired Liz to watch her own children. So, I'm feeling pretty good about things. Now we've just got to work out all the new routines and schedules.
