We Met the New Babysitter

Friday night we went to meet Delana, our new babysitter, and her husband Dale. We also met her niece, Brooklyn and great-niece, Audrey who were visiting. Everyone was super nice and we had a lovely visit. She has a very warm and inviting home. Chase brought along his Thomas trains, so that gave Delana something to ask Chase about. He named all his engines and showed her how they went together. Delena held Anthony for the whole hour we were there. He was content as could be. They also have fish and a gerbil. So Chase got to check that out. We asked Delana if she had cable. Chase was very concerned about getting to watch, "Go, Diego, Go!" This is a new cartoon on Nick Jr. Diego is Dora's cousin. Eric is very happy that there is now a boy version of Dora. Chase now puts on his backpack, and calls it his rescue pack, just like Diego. It teaches Spanish, counting and reasoning just like Dora does. She said they have a dish, so all is well there. When we left, Chase was laughing and playing with her, and being silly. I was relieved he warmed up to her so quickly. Julie is taking them back over there on Thursday, and then we will go back on Friday, Nov. 3rd. Monday, the 7th is still going to be hard, but hopefully not as bad.
