Baby Sitter

Today I took my son to my his baby sitter so he could get used to the environment and interact with her, before I go back to work and leave him for the entire day. When I first got there I didn't want to leave. She is family, but being a first time single mum.... this doesn't really help matters. He had never been to her place before and had never been left with her.
My son is pretty easy going and doesn't make strange with people (thank God). This gives me a chance now and then to have some adult time and let him have play time with an aunt or grandparent.
After about ten minutes of sitting there watching him, I left.
The whole time I was running errands I kept thinking about him and if he was ok. When I returned an hour later all I could hear out in the hallway coming from her apartment was my son giggling uncontrollably! I walked in to see her playing catch with him and he was obviously loving it! There were other toys scattered across the floor that I am sure he made his way through. This set my mind at ease! I felt a great sense of relief just seeing how much fun he was having with her and how good she was at getting down to his level and playing with him.
I finally feel ok about going back to work.
