My wife and I look after Willow four days a week (term time only, my daughter is a teacher)
We only have one more day as 'carers' before our daughter breaks up for the summer vacation and then takes one years maternity leave as Willow is going to have a sister or brother in September.
It's been great looking after Willow, I think she is probably my best friend (I don't have many friends !!!). In 12 months time we will be looking after 2 grandchildren :)
The link below shows me and willow on the same location (the side of our house , 11 months ago)
@allie912 Allison, it's a great honour to have looked after willow , my wife still works part time, so it's been "me and willow" for a few hours each day
It’s such a privilege to be able to spend time with your grandchildren. She is a sweetie. I look after my grandson one day a week and only have two more days before his mum goes on maternity leave as she is having a second baby in September. Seems we have grandkids about similar ages.
It's just amazing Phil how much I could see Willow has grown even before looking at the previous photo. Meanwhile you don't look any older to me. It sounds as if you have a great family set-up.
You are so lucky to be able to look so much after Willow. We have a sweet 4- months old grandson and would love to be of help, especially when his mom will go back to work in September. However we live at more than one hour distance so it won’t be possible for us to be regular sitters. Unless we move to their city. Mmm… kind of complicated. In the meantime they have enrolled him in a daycare Center, but he’s so little still. Anyway I must stop Brooding and I congratulate you for the beautiful and clever pictures that you posted. Really cute! Fav
