so, so annoyed. i lined up our daytime babysitter for a saturday night next month because we have an engagement party and i need someone to put ds to bed (we always go out after he is asleep). she tells me today she can't do it. wwyd? should i just have our nighttime sitter come put him to sleep even though he's never met her? he's 21mo and going through terrible separation anxiety. ugh, this sucks!

    - you can't have your db meet a sitter for the first time and expect to go to bed normally that night. You need her to come a few times before

- It's a month away, have the nighttime sitter come for an evening before so he can meet her.
