They're a plane ride away from all their relatives, so getting help from any of us isn't an option. And there is no daycare offered at either of their workplaces. But they have a wonderful woman helping them, and my granddaughter is clearly thriving. When they're with her, they're completely focused on her, and she knows she's loved.
