Good Mornings.

This morning I did not get out of bed until 7:10 am. It was one of those special mornings taht Corbin decides to come in to my room around 6:30 am and cuddle with me. He came in this morning and snuggled up next to me and it went like this-
Corbin: "mom, MOM!"
Me: "yes, baby"
Corbin: "we are going to Big Mama's house in one week"
Me: "yeas we are. what are you going to do there?'

He stayed in bed quietly talking with me until I feared the sitter would get to the house I would not even be out of bed. (She comes at 7:15) I told Corbin that Sarah was about to be at our house soon and he sat up and said "Sarah! Let’s get up!"

Sarah is the new sitter and it has been a bittersweet week for me. On Monday when Sarah pulled up Caura saw her car and said "Jessica!" and started jumping up and down with excitement. As Sarah, who looks very different from Jessica, started to walk up to the house Caura got apprehensive. She did not cry but she was not comfortable. Corbin was even shy at first. He asked he on Sunday when Jessica was going to come play with him. I said 'I don't know" because I couldn't say "never because she chose to quite this job by not showing up and not giving you guys the opportunity to say good bye or phase her out". I am so angry with Jessica for the confusion she has caused my children. The great thing is they are young and Sarah is FANTASTIC! She is so kind to them and has a peaceful nature about her. While I was getting ready she read then five books and encouraged Corbin to replace a book before he got out a new one, and he did it! She even has horses and lives in the country. Corbin said "I love Sarah". I hope she will stay all summer and I hope we can find a good sitter for the fall and beyond.
