Babysitter

We've finally started using one of the young women from our ward to be a babysitter for the kids. She came last night while we went to conference and it seems all went well. The kids like Arielle so we weren't worried at all while we were gone. Came home to find the girls in bed and Ammon watching tv and lying on the couch - think he's wrapped her around his little finger already. Not a hard act, he's achieved that with just about everyone else we know too.

Hopefully she will be ok, as Ammon woke in the early hours last night and vomited over him and I. I had gone in to check on him as he was grizzling, picked him up for a cuddle and bam! Covered. Nice. So a shower at 2.30am then into bed with us, and bam! Nate got covered. Haha. So what does Nate do? Moves to Ammon's bed. Ammon stays with me and is sick once more before morning, then again about half an hour ago. Oh fun. Shall we see how long before the girls or I get it? We think he probably brought the bug home from kindy as it's been going around for a few weeks.

So we'll be having a true 'day of rest' this Sabbath day as it's not fantastic weather outside and this boy is pretty clingy. The girls may go out to Mum's to play with Brooke and Elisa before they go home but other than that, we'll just wait for the next lot of puke (which thankfully is mostly flem now). Fun day ahead!

Hope Arielle doesn't do me out of a job! Just kidding. I think it's good that you have someone outside the family you can use.
I'm glad Ammon's on the mend.
Sure hasn't been the weather for washing bed clothes.
