We're starting with a new babysitter on Tuesday
Our old babysitter moved away and we'll be starting up with a new one on Tuesday. We found this lady through a newspaper ad, and we only met her once and she seemed great. But being a mommy means I must worry incessantly. Will he cry when Daddy leaves (since Daddy's taking him over there every morning)? How long will he cry if he does? Will he think we've abandoned him? Will he be all confused by new rules from a complete stranger? Will he sleep OK for her? Will he eat OK for her? Should I call to check in on him? Should I not call to check in on him? How will the other people in the house interact with him? Will there be other kids there for him to play with (when we met her and signed on there weren't)? If there are other kids how will he interact with them? Will the babysitter's two sons be nice to Matthew? Or will they not want to be around him at all and find him to be a pest?
And finally my biggest fear of all: Will he like the babysitter more than he likes his Mommy?

All valid questions! There's never a right answer though, except to your last one...he will never like her more than he likes his mommy!
Good luck...Ben is back at his regular babysitter's on Tuesday too...Gord is a teacher, so he's been home with Ben for the last two months. Now he has to adjust to being away from Ben all day every day...mwah hah hah hah...

Riley starts at the sitters Tuesday as well. Summer just went by so fast and now I'm back to teaching again! SNIFF! I know Matthew will adjust fine. Heck, there's more places to explore and mischief to make!!! Your questions are valid (I ask them myself). Matthew will ALWAYS love you more!!!!!!!
