Well, tomorrow is our first day with a summer nanny. I’m trying hard not to leave her a long list of rules. (Seriously, we don’t have that many rules in our family, but it is important that she knows things like the big kids’ bedroom must be shut at all times so that Jenny can’t get the Legos, etc.) I’m thinking it will go well, but who knows. I’m also hoping that the kids go easy on her. Adam and Allie adore each other, but they can really fight sometimes, too – they run sooo hot and cold! I just hope they don’t try her patience too much.
(And Gawd I hope that Jenny takes a nap! She’s been a total pill lately at naptime and bedtime, though of course the ladies at her day care tell me that she goes down for naptime perfectly for them.)
I’m sure I’ll be back tomorrow evening with a full report.
My almost-1yo is a stinker at napping for us at home, but at daycare she takes a 1hr morning nap and a 2hr afternoon nap usually. Kids!!
I hope the kids have a great time with the nanny! I’m sure they will be great. I used to watch kids in the summer and they gave me hardly any trouble :).
Hope it went well!!!
Good luck with the summer nanny! I hope all is well with you.
Well, everyone had a great day today! And it was so nice to come straight home and arrive by 5:25.
Malcolm, it’s nice to hear from you. I’m doing well. Did you know that I’m at U-M now, working for Jamie again? 🙂
Glad it went well. What do Adam and Allie call her?
Booksitter 🙂 hehehe
BookNanny.
Heh, no, they call her Chloe. 🙂
Don’t do that to me! You had no idea how hard it was for me to remember to refer to your kids as Adam and Allie. I could backslide sooooo easily.
