No Need to Imagine Julie

While short, you can hear Ben's belly laugh while swinging.

And now imagine a belly laugh turned into a SCREAMING cry, and that's what welcomed Elizabeth and I home last night. The first attempt at a babysitter was successful for about half the time we were gone, and then not so much the second half. Ben didn't exactly want to go to sleep after his bottle, and instead decided to test out his voice & lungs and the sitter's patience. She did great, and called after trying to calm him down for about an hour. We may need to take a different approach the next time. Plus, we'll now have to convince Elizabeth that there should be a next time.

Enjoy this short little clip.
