Eisley had her first solo babysitting gig tonight. She and kaybree babysat together over the summer and that same family asked if Eisley could babysit for them and Kaybree babysit for their friends while they went to a game night tonight. Kaybree’s job ended up canceling but Eisley still got to go. The kids were already asleep when she got there, so she just had to sit around and wait.
The job was supposed to be done at 10:30 but I got a text from the mom around 10:20 asking if 11 would be OK.
“I texted Eisley but didn’t hear back so just wanted to make sure it was OK!”
I said yes, of course, but then my mind got spinning. Why didn’t Eisley text back?
I sent her a text. No response. I called. No answer. I called again. Nothing.
By then, I knew Eisley had to be asleep and I also know Eisley sleeps like a rock. I didn’t want them coming home to that.
Their house is right around the corner so I walked over and prayed they left the door unlocked. They did! As soon as I walked in, I could hear Eisley snoring on the couch.
I woke her gently and her confusion was hilarious.
“You fell asleep,” I told her. “You were babysitting.”
“Oh,” she said. “Did you send Kaybree over?”
“No. Kaybree is at home.”
“Then who is there?”
“You are, Eisley. This is their house!”
“Oh.”
Eventually she woke up enough to understand and remember where she was. I asked her if she would be OK for another 30 minutes.
“Yeah, I got a power nap.”
I wish I had recorded the interaction because you are adorable, my dear!
