Bad mommy!

Today was the first day that Aoife was watched over by a sitter. She's been very outgoing lately and both Jim and I had meetings to attend, so we thought it would not be a bad idea to hire a sitter for Aoife while I worked today.  Big mistake.  When I came home, the poor sitter had Aoife on her lap, a look of relief on the sitter's face and a red, blotchy tear-soaked face from Aoife.  Aoife was so distraught, she barely ate, and cried most of the time Jim and I were gone. When I picked her up, I was startled by the angry look Aoife gave me. After the sitter left, I continued to hold Aoife, fed her, and eventually made her happy again.
