Improving little Buddy Hecker's life was our true intention, Miss Blue. Anything less hadn't occurred to us - why else would we have been chosen? And so we spent the morning at the player piano where we played our favorite march, Under the Double Eagle, sitting on the piano bench, with Buddy between us. The music made Buddy so excited he constantly had to have his diaper changed. We could hardly wait until his mother came home so that we could tell her about his musical talent.

I really loved Buddy's teddy bear, and so I hid it behind one of the piano rolls in the closet, remembering which piano roll it was behind so that I could find it and give it to him if he cried, of course.

We wrote a report, all about our first babysitting job and how we had improved a baby's life when we returned to school on Monday. Our teacher was impressed with the music part. We were proud.

With Loving Memories.
