Another new nanny
I'm sure you've all been worrying night and day about Ethan's nanny situation. We said good-bye to Jenny and Sarah a few weeks ago, which was a tearful occasion on Ethan's part. He really was sad, as were we. But we hope to see them again sometime this summer. Then, after a slight hiccup when the new nanny we'd lined up didn't show up, we started interviewing yet again. Anyway, Matty (Madeleine) started last week, and she's working out great. She has a degree in elementary education, and is very nice. She pronounces her nickname "Maddy," but after they painted together one day and Matty signed her name to her painting, Ethan started calling her "Mat-ty" with a very hard t, since that's how it looks to him.
Today we also hosted another 2 1/2 year old, Leo, who lives not far away. Matty watched both of them, and they got on very well. Leo is a very mellow, super-cute kid who seems to enjoy the same kinds of things Ethan does. We met Leo through craigslist while looking for a nanny... hooray for craigslist.
