    Our Babysitter

    After a seriously bad case of "morning" sickness yesterday, I did my best to suck it up and we went out to see the massive tourist bonanza, the Outback Spectacular.

    This, of course, required us to organise a babysitter, always a fun challenge. We only know one person we trust; the 18 year old ex-neighbour who used to babysit for us before we moved. Thankfully during the time we've known her she has learned to drive and was happy to take the journey to babysit Jude.

    It's interesting how both Jude and the babysitter keep getting older, so we trust her more and have less worries about him. Even knowing he probably wouldn't go to sleep easily wasn't too much of a concern because he often stays awake until 9.30pm just because he's stubborn.

    When she babysat Jude when he was a baby, her mum was always downstairs and we knew she would get some help if she needed it, so that wasn't a problem either.

    It's very nice how it's all worked out. It is very underrated to have a good babysitter.
