The Big Show

Evelyn is often willing (or required) to babysit. Sandy tells me that a babysitter cannot be given instructions like. Evelyn, you are in charge of Lola but you cannot touch her. I don't see that as a problem. More often than not Evelyn babysitting means Evelyn Entertaining so Mom and or Dad can spend some time on other things like using the bathroom or taking that elusive 5 minute shower. Evelyn is quite the dancer, she also plays piano, both in a way that only Lola can appreciate (in reality the dancing is not that bad). These concerts are usually the longest periods of time that Lola is contented in her crib. She certainly does not care to be there in the evening. I have asked that a plan be made to affect change in that arena.
