Today I had a realization that we really are parents. I know that sounds crazy but it's almost been like I have this cool little person that goes around and does everything with me. But today I was reminded that that cool little person is a baby, my baby, and we are her parents. Today was the first time we had a "babysitter". We have had Christians parents watch her for a couple hours here and there, but today we actually had a paid babysitter (granted it was Christians sister...but still) that came to our house.
We had to ask people what the going rate was. And when I came home I had this thought, "Whoa, we've been become parents who pay for babysitters so we can go out, and then come home and clean up toys off the floor...when did this happen?!?" This probably doesn't make any sense to anyone, but it was such a weird feeling and I wanted to write and document it. So yeah...I guess we are officially "grown-ups"!
