I made sure I had everything I'd need with me, then picked up Sam.
"Are you ready to go out, baby?"
Sam didn't say anything, sucking on his fingers, and I patted his hair.
"We're going to have a lot of fun in the park, okay? Daddy already said it's fine to get you a little ice cream, and it's such a nice day out."
A few weeks had passed, and it was already over a month since I started babysitting, and it had hit me that in all that time, unless Carlton's mom came to take him, Sam didn't leave the house that often. I was too afraid to just take him out, though, so I'd asked for permission, and Carlton said it was all right. So, for the first time, I was going to have a park date with Sam.
