You are typing Baby\u2019s daily schedule for the babysitter, checking it over three times to make sure that you included everything in it, because how else will the babysitter know that Baby takes one short nap and then a longer one only an hour later? How will the babysitter know that he likes to be swaddled, but with one arm out, free to touch the world?<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>This article first appeared in Ami magazine.
