Pick a card...


Bought this table and chairs yesterday for Ed. As if Auntie M needs further amunition for her argument that we don't let Ed out of the kitchen...

I'd been looking for a while to find something with the right dimensions., ie something that would fit at the end of the counter. Ed is still a little too short to get into the chairs very easily, but he's close. He's playing with his shape flash cards that his old nanny bought (and drilled him in).

In other news (and the real reason I'm posting), WE GOT A NEW NANNY!!!

Just in time too. Whew! She starts tomorrow (that's Wednesday). Irony is we didn't even find her using the nanny agency. She seems like a good mix of our first nanny and another nanny down the street whom we really like.

She speaks both Spanish and English (and her English is very good). She came here from Argentina with a family to be their nanny. She worked with them for 15 years, then raised their daughter's children. She has similar longevity with her previous families to us, so we're thrilled. What a huge relief...now the worry about her running off with my babies can begin :)

Congratulations on all counts. Next up: wee stove, so Eddie can whip up a meal (with his new potzenpans) to serve at his table.

And stop worrying! (Yeah, I know -- you won't. You can't. You're a Potatohead.)
