Day 3 = Farewell to the Babysitter
Eden has had the same babysitter since about the time she started walking. And although she hasn't seen as much of her since she started school last year, she still loves this woman with a passion. Nicole (a.k.a. Nic) has cared for Eden through the worst of her ailments and the best of her triumphs. At times, she has been like a third parent; a savior for Brian and I. She was the only other person with whom Eden would be left alone and the only person that could get her to eat well.
Not to point fingers... BUT she is probably personally responsible for Eden not liking preschool. I mean, who would rather spend the day at school when you could be with someone who will allow "upside down day". Today, she helped Eden put her legs through the arm holes of her t-shirt and pulled her skirt up as a top (after Eden declared it was upside down day).
Although this wasn't really goodbye, it was more like "see you on the next day I play hooky from school", we did want to make a special effort for Eden and Nicole to get some time together. Nicole will also start helping us with August this fall. If he only knew how lucky he is!
