The face of a true womanizer!Wyatt is already a womanizer! He woos all the ladies at church and they all want to babysit him. Seriously. I mean they fight over who gets to babysit sweet little Wyatt. We have only gotten four non-grandma babysitters but they are dying to get a taste of my dear boy. My friend said, "When are you going to ask my daughter to babysit? She is waiting her turn and is feeling left out." I had already asked her cousin twice and her best friend once. I can't help it if they all want a turn.
Jason is loving this but I am so worried about having a babysitter too often due to financial reasons and leaving him too much. But don't let that darling face fool you. Wyatt definitely has a bad case of stranger danger. He cries and cries with the babysitters until it is time to eat and go to sleep so why are they all begging to babysit him is my question?
It is difficult for me to have a great time out on the town knowing my baby cries so much. We try to leave really close to his bedtime so I know he won't cry too much but it's still hard for me to leave. I guess in a way I'm regretting not leaving him sooner than we did.
When we get home I get the report (cried for awhile, ate, but didn't even make a peep for bedtime), and while I am taking them home say, "I hope you will want to babysit for us again even though he cried." Their reply is always the same.
"I would LOVE to babysit for you again because he is SO cute!"
I can't help it if my boy is a ladies' man!

I still have a hard time leaving Emma because I worry about how she will behave. Even when she is great every time, I still worry. I wonder when it will go away? AnyWHO - he is so precious I can see why they fight over him. Just remind him that his TRUE LOVE is Emma.
Yeah, we went through a 2 year span where babysitting was a breeze. Tatum had adjusted to having sitters and loved it (I want to say she was 1 or so). She would be perfect and go down with ease. She loved playing with someone other than me. Then around the time Dane was born and she was 3, things shifted. She decided that being told what to do by a non-adult wasn't really her thing. Since then I'm back to worrying how my kid will behave--only she's not a baby anymore!!! At least Wyatt can't talk yet, right?!
He's just adjusting and leaving him with the sitters is good--even if it's hard--because he'll continue to get used to it and you'll have an easier time taking him to the nursery at church or the gym...you know. :)
I really think it depends on the child. I left Ellie pretty regularly with her grandma from the time she was little but she didn't care - she still cried the whole time. Pretty much that continued until she was 18 months. She took a few weeks to warm up to nursery and then was fine. But now I'm trying to get her to go into the childcare at the gym and she is not too happy.... Meanwhile other kids couldn't care less that their parents leave them with trusted people!
