My parents have started watching Teo whenever I go to my new job at the BigChainStore. I am happy with my BCS part-time gig thus far, but I am even happier that the babysitting thing seems to be working out. The first time I left Mateo alone with them, I was all worked up and my stomach was in knots. Never thought I would be that mom, but what do you know? There are lots of things you don't know about yourself until you are forced to discover them.
Mainly, Grandma and Grandpa have been successful at getting Teo to sleep and to eat -- the two biggest concerns of any parent. The other night, however, was apparently a bit tricky. While Teo was crying and crying, I am told that the dog went and picked up one of his toys (a stuffed rabbit) and brought it towards the baby. We think the dog was trying to comfort him. The cuteness is just too much for me.
Happy Thanksgiving to everybody. We are playing it mellow and I couldn't be happier about that. I feel like I have been non-stop for the last few days (10 or so) and I am looking forward to a calm day of food, dad's "projects" and repeating stories to my grandma. For when it gets to be too much, we are all going to watch "Hairspray" together. I've heard it's good...
