It IS very hard to let go and let others watch our kids. Until recently, Rachel was rarely babysat by anyone. We don't have a lot of people nearby who can help us out if we need/want to go somewhere...but friends and family offer to make the trip-and lately, we've been taking them up on it. I was reluctant at first, and I still call a few times to check in...as Rachel gets older and is easier to "read", I'm more ok with leaving her with someone responsible who knows her pretty well. My mother in law and sister in law are great with her, and my friends are learning the ropes as well. They never quite do it "Mommy's way", but it good that are kids are learning to adapt to new situations and experiences-this WILL help them later on when they are older and change cannot be avoided in certain situations.
Now go give Erika some practice and have her watch Keegan for a few hours, while you take some time to (gasp!) YOURSELF!

I have to agree about letting go. I am definitely a type A personality and feel that if I let something go to be handled by someone else, it may not get done the way I would like. I find it easier to just do things myself. But then I have no room to complain when I feel I have too much on my plate. I am learning to delegate and let go. But you definitely need to find time for yourself, that way you are more refreshed and can really enjoy the moments you have with Keegan.

Get used to letting him go now... because it'll be easier on you later too. I can count on one hand how many times WE have left Jake with a sitter, and he's almost SIX! Yes, I'm insane, I know. :)
