It went really well today, we didn't have a huge turn out, maybe a dozen cars, but it was pretty good for little ol Juneau! Since I've already helped at an event before the instructors wanted me to have everyone else do stuff first. Most of the people in our class (8 total) are from very small communities and when they go back to their community they will be the only tech there (all of SE Alaska is only accessible by boat or plane, so another tech is a day away). Since I will be here in Juneau with several other techs I will have many more chances to practice with someone else than they will.
The other thing that went well today was the new babysitter that Frank had today. This is the first time that we have used her (dh had to work today), and Frank did great. I dropped him off at her house (she's a 9th grader, so she doesn't drive) and they played, ran around, all kinds of stuff all day and he was fine all day. He is passed out on the couch now, completely exhauseted! I was really worried about it since this is the first week that mom hasn't been home with him all the time, last night when I picked him up from my friends house he didn't want to let go of me for about 20 minutes, so I had no idea how he would do with someone he's never been around before. So, here's an OT question for you, what is your going rate for babysitting? I had no clue what to pay her, and so I gave her what I thought was reasonable for all day (and last minute, I didn't find her until Thursday) and she said it was way too much and she couldn't take that much from me! I think we've found a babysitter now, as nice she is, I think we will continue to use her, lol!
Well, I am totally beat and am going to lay down for a while since Frank is sleeping. Thanks again everyone for everything!
