Since September, we have been using Mattie to watch the twins on Wednesdays from 8:45 am - 12:45 pm. Normally, I use this time to run errands, do laundry, run to the grocery store or selfishly just have "ME" time. Mattie has been a wonderful addition to this household and to the twins' lives. I describe Mattie as a God loving, quiet, sweet, and loving friend who goes out of her way to find fun activities to do with Lilah and Jaxon. Mattie is unique in that she is totally hands on. This isn't just a job to her where she comes and sits and stares at the kids or text messages her boyfriend the entire time she's here. She comes because she values her job, thinks "it's fun" and she seems to enjoy her time here. I am grateful that God has given her to us for this season. Her help serves two purposes: 1. It helps our household out and 2. This job is great practice for the day she becomes a mother.
A few weeks back, Mattie texted me from my house (I was doing laundry upstairs). It read, "Come look!" As I approached the main floor I wasn't sure what I would find. BOY IS SHE BRAVE. She took the twins in the garage and decided to let them finger paint. Lilah had more of a blast painting herself than the paper.
Mattie, we love you! It brings me joy to see the twins reaction when you walk in the door. Thank you for spending valued time with Lilah and Jaxon. And most of all, thank you for doing those fun things that I just don't have the time for like I did when it was just Tyson and I.
