And finally, an update as to Julia and the sitter's first day: Julia cried the entire day. Not screaming raging crying, but whimpering teary crying. She only took a two hour nap while at the sitter's, and didn't sleep well when she did. She didn't eat much because she was so upset, and then cried when I walked in the door and she spied me. (when I walked in she was sitting on the sitter's lap, content)
Needless to say, we put her to bed early last night, and today she was fine because GRANDMA! walked through the door. :)
