Ugh, hiring a nanny has been MUCH harder than I had anticipated. We found who we thought was the perfect nanny on paper and she turned out to be...well, how can I say this? Weird. Really weird. Really, really weird. For example, she decided that Adam wanted to listen to music one day so she took him out to her car to listen to some tunes (rather than just using our music makers in the house?) Another day, she decided on her own that she would start hard core potty training Owen and put him in underwear without discussing it with me first. So the first time my little boy wore underwear was not under my watch - but the crazy nanny. And did he have an accident? Yes. But that's not all...when they were playing outside and he said he needed to go, she directed him to pee in the dirt in the backyard. Now when the subject of big boy pants comes up, Owen completely refuses. Ummm, what else? She brought a potato everyday that she baked in the microwave and told me on her last day that she had been cleaning the baking dish with Comet. Those are just a few of the kooky things this woman did. So since she was temporary anyway and she decided that she wanted to extend her already planned vacation, I happily dismissed her telling her that we'd figure out another solution.
We have hired a new nanny who is set to start after the 4th of July holiday. In the meantime though, Aunt Debi has stepped in to help us out and we are so happy to have her. Owen is so happy to have Grace come play with him 3 times a week. Steve took this photo today of the two of them eating lunch. He titled his email to me "Two Peas."
