It Takes a Village

We have been lucky that Kellen is watched during the work week by both grandmothers and a friend who lives near by. The situation could not have worked out more perfectly. Kellen gets to spend quality time with his grandmothers, and on Fridays is able to socialize with other children that he just adores.

Monday and Tuesday are the days that Grandma Sue (Jacobson) typically watches Kellen. She spends her days playing, reading him books, and watching Sesame Street. Grandma Sue stated she loves everything about watching Kellen. But, most of all she loves playing "Where's Kellen?" She also loves to hold him while he's drinking his bottle.

Wednesdays and Thursdays are the days that Grandmo (Lane) typically watches Kellen. She spends her days playing, reading him books, and going on walks. When asked what her favorite things are about babysitting she stated, "I love every moment. His smiles are constant and melt my heart. I feel so lucky to spend so much time with him."



Friday is the day that Kellen typically goes over to The Duran home. Mandi has her two boys Jackson (4) and Taylor (1 1/2) there as well. Kellen loves socializing with them, and they play well together all day long. Mandi states, "I love watching them with each other. They think the littlest things are sooo funny about one another."
