we have a babysitter-in-training. what does that mean? well, she's only 12, so not quite old enough to be in complete control of our two little boys. "m" is her name and she's eager to learn, a whole lot of fun, responsible with a sense of humor. perfect for us. any parent out there reading this knows how wonderful it is to find that special young person. so... we are training her. we go on short dates while she watches the boys and her dear mother (my dear friend) sits quietly and supports her when needed. like when "bump" peed on "m". or when "the monster" spread brownie mix all over the kitchen. those sorts of things.
now. my dear friend won't let us pay "m" very much. "she's still in training.", she says. "let her work towards that hourly rate". so our babysitter-in-training is quite the bargain as well! i wanted to do something special for her to show our appreciation in a non-monetary way. i made "m" the cute letter art below. i used butterflies, but one could use cars, airplanes, etc for a boy. i could also see using more mature designs and using the first letter of a last name as a housewarming gift. possibly to hang in a mudroom? the ideas are endless...
