Wesley is now six weeks old, and growing like a weed. I'm still floored by the whole thing. I don't think I can digest it well enough to put into words; at least, not yet.
He is getting old enough to have more contact with the outside world, and with other people. To that end, both Lisa and I have some overlapping interests and occasionally will both want to go somewhere. We'll probably take turns going to things for the most part, but it might also be nice to see about finding a few people who might enjoy playing babysitter.
Would anyone be interested? As a more general matter, what's the right way to deal with friends as babysitters? Obviously I'd want to compensate someone for their time, but is straight up cash the best way to handle it?
