She's gone


Nina the nanny's last day was yesterday (Thurs). She came by to say goodbye and so I could take some pictures. She has the same problem with goodbyes that I do--just tend to get worked up over them. I cried.

She had become an extension of our family in such a short period and we may never see her again. It's not like we have a lot of cause to visit Houston, where she's moving. I knew she was a good nanny, but I really don't think I knew exactly how good I had it.

It's weird to think about, but Eddie doesn't have a clue that she's gone and that he'll have someone else care for him from now on.

I'm a little bit stressed over finding a new person--the change, having to learn someone new, the worry-- will the person take off with Eddie or do something to harm him? I know he'll be fine, but a mother worries. It took a period of adjustment before we felt comfortable with Nina, and I'm sure the same will hold true with whomever we get.
