Babysitting

The girls (especially Lila!) were so excited to have our 13-year-old neighbor, Ellie, babysit last weekend. They've been asking for her all summer. We are fortunate enough that we rarely have to pay for a sitter with family all around us, but we planned a dinner outing with friends and planned to have Ellie come for a few hours. Lila talked about it all week, "What day is Ellie coming?" "Is tomorrow after this day?" "Is she coming after breakfast?" etc.

Ellie also has two high school age brothers, Jack and Ryan. In the car, the afternoon of the big night, Lila said repeatedly, "Mom, I bet Jack and Ryan are SO JEALOUS that Ellie gets to come babysit us!! I bet they wish they could come over too!" Emma and I exchanged glances and enthusiastically agreed. That's just what teenage boys like to do on a Friday night!

It's so cute the way she flatters herself.....
